Welcome to the Newburgh Futures Podcast. Newburgh Futures is a project that uses the power of story to build community and imagine futures locally here in Newburgh and more broadly in communities across the country. The podcast is a project of the Collaborative for Equity in Literacy Learning at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, New York.
On today’s episode, we will hear from the President and Vice President of the Newburgh School Board, as they address the students at NFA West, as part of the WEST University Guest Speaker Series. Each Thursday, guests from the community are invited to speak to the students about their professional journey and offer advice.
Ms. Carole Mineo, the President of the School Board for the Newburgh Enlarged City School District, was a classroom teacher and then principal before retiring and becoming a school board member.
Ms. Susan Prokosch, the Vice President of the Board, was also a classroom teacher for many years in Newburgh.
Both Ms. Mineo and Ms. Prokosch were the first women to go to college in their families, and they both have led successful lives as leaders in the community and are working to improve our schools today.
