Governor Carney of Delaware Elected SREB Chair
Johnson of Oklahoma is vice chair
West Virginia's Plymale is treasurer

June 29, 2020 — Governor John Carney of Delaware was elected to serve as chair of the Southern Regional Education Board at the organization’s executive committee meeting Friday.

Governor Carney will lead the collaborative work of governors, legislators and state education leaders on SREB’s 80-member Board<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsreb.us4.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3Dc67c5841e2df804cf1c9ea093%26id%3D1648b912ce%26e%3D2bda7894f1&data=02%7C01%7Celisa.jaden%40sreb.org%7C4d8f1094132b493c378908d81c5a5cdb%7Ceb20950b168c497a98452b099844f3ef%7C0%7C0%7C637290521715456789&sdata=S2Dw9c00dQq2iyD0ugsbhKb98o%2BGg%2FhEF10%2Bb2oOdLs%3D&reserved=0> to improve public education at every level, from early childhood through doctoral education.

But that doesn’t change the fundamental truth that all children deserve a world-class public education. All students can learn, and all of our children deserve an equal opportunity to succeed. It’s our responsibility to deliver on that promise.

“As we continue to cope with the impacts of COVID-19 ─ and plan for the safe reopening of school buildings this fall ─ we will work with the Southern Regional Education Board to place a specific focus on issues of equity,” he said. “We will advocate for additional funding for broadband technology and new support for children living in poverty and students who are still learning English.

“Investment in these areas will help us close the opportunity gap in public schools in Delaware and across the country and support the students and educators who need our help the most,” said Governor Carney.

“Governor Carney’s commitment to a quality education for every child ─ regardless of family income, race or ethnicity ─ will guide us well,” said SREB President Stephen L. Pruitt. “We are grateful for his leadership, especially as states recover from the coronavirus pandemic and its effects on education and the workforce.”

“Governor John Carney’s approach has yielded tangible results for Delaware’s children and educators alike. Under his leadership, we have achieved our highest graduation rates in a decade, taken meaningful steps toward addressing our antiquated school funding system, and created a successful student loan forgiveness program for teachers,” said Delaware State Senator David Sokola, a member of the SREB executive committee.

Glen Johnson, Bob Plymale Serve as Vice Chair and Treasurer

Glen D. Johnson, chancellor of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, was elected to continue as vice chair of the Board. A former state legislator and speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, Johnson has been an active leader on the SREB Board since 2010, including chairing the Commission on College Affordability in the South and co-chairing the current SREB Higher Education Recovery Task Force<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsreb.us4.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3Dc67c5841e2df804cf1c9ea093%26id%3De2416f62b0%26e%3D2bda7894f1&data=02%7C01%7Celisa.jaden%40sreb.org%7C4d8f1094132b493c378908d81c5a5cdb%7Ceb20950b168c497a98452b099844f3ef%7C0%7C0%7C637290521715456789&sdata=bE3SO8r5CF6Lb2yRYiDgGLpD%2F5%2B89%2BVehexHUxMr3CY%3D&reserved=0>.

State Senator Robert H. Plymale of West Virginia was elected to another term as treasurer. A member of the West Virginia legislature since 1993, he has been an SREB board member since 2003.

A nonprofit, nonpartisan interstate compact, SREB was created in 1948 by Southern governors and legislators who recognized the link between education and economic vitality.
