Michael Giles was named the next Superintendent of aurorak12. He spoke to NicoleDenver7 about preparing for his new role.
The Aurora Public Schools Board of Education selected Michael Giles as the next Superintendent and approved a contract with a salary of $285,000 per year beginning July 1st. Giles previously worked in the Cherry Creek School District, most recently as Assistant Superintendent of Equity, Culture and Community Engagement. He has lived in Aurora for 25 years.
MG: I think my experience as a counselor has basically given me a foundation to really understand or be available to the needs of students, to listen, to really draw out what is it that they need. We know right now mental health or behavioral health is a large part of that. And so being able to ask those questions, being able to gauge students helps me to provide the supports and the structures necessary to give them what they need to thrive in school.
MG: So the priority is always advancing the outcomes for all students, but under the umbrella of equity, and in particular students who have often times been marginalized within the system. Looking at whatever systems or structures that we might have in place that are serving as barriers for students to thrive, identifying those and then dismantling them if necessarily, or changing them so that students can actually find success and those systems and structures don't serve as barriers.
NB: How much does student safety weigh on your mind? What will you be looking for in terms of security in Aurora Public Schools and anything that needs to change? NB: On the subject of superintendent salaries, what do you think it says about education priorities that we have the school districts competing with each other to pay their top leaders so much? How does that fit in with the discussion about salaries for teachers?
