Russ Davis has spent the past three decades engaged in the project of improving the public education system. Coming from a family of educators, Russ was inspired to enter the education field from a young age. At 19, Russ became the then-youngest school district Chief Information Officer in his home state of Mississippi. In his later work in both public and private sectors, he gained a clear view of the challenges and opportunities facing school districts. He left public service in 2010 to build the team and products that would eventually become SchoolStatus. Russ champions trust, innovation and expertise, and has captained a thriving company that embodies its values through the products and services it creates.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When she was in 2nd grade, Dr. Kara Stern decided she wanted to be a teacher. Her commitment to education never waivered. With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Stern began her career as a high school English teacher, later becoming a middle school principal, Executive Director of Math for America, and education content strategist for EdTech marketing teams. A writer and contributor to many publications, Dr. Stern is an education thought leader, creating K-12 resources for teachers and principals. She was a Klingenstein Fellow and earned a Ph.D. in Teaching & Learning from NYU. Dr. Stern brings her knowledge and advocacy for consistent, data-driven school communications to SchoolStatus. Outside academia, Dr. Stern indulges her love for reading, devouring two novels weekly, with a particular fondness for heists and spy stories.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Inspired by her mother’s 25-year career as an educator, Leslie sees education as society’s backbone, necessitating continuous adaptation. In her interactions with her colleagues, customers, or family, Leslie is driven to be the best possible version of herself and be a representative of that moxie for the company. Outside work, her dynamic pursuits include running, cycling, yoga, LEGO building, and cleaning, all accompanied by Taylor Swift’s music.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
