Mr. Liles emerged as the ideal candidate due to his extensive experience as an Information Technology (IT) Manager involved with system level IT, cybersecurity, and project management. In addition, his enthusiasm for the school system and strong ties to the community were clear. Mr. Liles is a graduate of Shore Leadership and has served in volunteer leadership positions locally.
Peggy Wittman, Coordinator of Special Education – Supervisor of Special Education Erica McDonald requested approval of Ms. Wittman for a coordinator position.
