Dr. Carol Kelley is a transformative leader and accomplished superintendent who brings her deep commitment to equity-centered systems to her work with the Salem City School District (a PK-12 public school system located in Salem County, NJ). Throughout her career as a classroom teacher, administrator, and superintendent, she has focused on addressing racial, economic, and academic disparities. Her accomplishments are a testament of her collaborative approach. By working closely with stakeholders, she created a shared vision that helped raise academic achievement for special education students in one district and among black students and special education students in another, effectively narrowing the opportunity gaps in those areas.
