“One of the most important things we do in life is to provide a proper education for the children in our society. Far too often, many of us leave that important responsibility to others, especially after our own children have grown. I am eager to bring people–students, parents, teachers, and members of the community–together to improve the opportunities we offer our youth in an urban school setting.”

In February 2009, Paul Gill was appointed Assistant Superintendent for Operational Support Services for Alvord Unified School District, a district serving over 20,000 students in 20 schools. Previously, Gill served as Chief Operations Officer for Pittsburgh Public Schools, with responsibility for the district’s facilities, operations, pupil transportation, food service and school police.
