2010MiMi became a grandmother in 2010 with the birth of her grandson and was further blessed by the birth of a granddaughter in 2012! These two are the light of her life along with her husband of 37 years and her two daughters! MiMi loves reading Southern United States history and is currently working to get specifically Louisiana Education History published. MiMi worked in the Louisiana Department of Education for 25 years from 1981-2006 under State Superintendents of Education J. Kelly Nix, Thomas G. Clausen, Wilmer S. Cody, Raymond G. Arveson, and Cecil J. Picard. MiMi hopes to bring awareness to the lack of historical information on Louisiana Education History from the mid-1970s through present day. During this time there were several major reform initiatives regarding student assessments, teacher evaluations, school report cards and accountability, state funding for schools, data collection and administrative technology, charter schools, and several other high profile areas.
MiMi's first project is adding descriptive historical information about the Louisiana Department of Education, including pictures of their current location in the Claiborne Building in Baton Rouge.
MiMi's second project is to locate biographical information and pictures of former Louisiana State Superintendents of Education. Here are the first two photos:
