Dr. Novey with Newport Rotary President Pam Wall

Dr. Dan Novey, Superintendent of the Carteret County School System, was the featured speaker at Newport Rotary on Monday, March 10, 2014. He is a Rotarian in the Beaufort Old Town Rotary.

Dr. Novey spoke on the issues of the "Common Core" curriculum, the 25% versus tenure issue with teacher pay, and "how we are doing" in the Carteret County Schools. During and after his 30 minute program, he was very kind to answer numerous questions relating to all of those issues. he was especially proud of how the County schools were grading out using "performance" and "accountability growth" standards.
