Superintendent Nick Roberts said they started their day around 9:30 a.m. with a tour. School board members Troy Thatcher, Dave McFarland, and Owen Applegate, Treasurer Melinda Horsley, and Director of State & Federal Programs Caroline Grooms-Lowe joined the day that included introductions, a review of Manchester Local Schools demographics, a tour, a visit to Mrs. French’s Kindergarten classroom, lunch interview with The People’s Defender, and a discussion on future projects. Commenting on the team, Green said, “It’s a sign of good leaders in your school and teachers – it trickles down.”
