Why She Became an Educator
According to Ms. Flucus, “My journey into education began through Teach for America, where I discovered my passion for supporting students with special needs. That experience shaped my purpose and commitment to ensuring every learner—regardless of ability—has access to a high-quality, individualized education.
“Over the past 15 years, I have dedicated my career to advocating for equity, inclusion, and meaningful progress for all students.”
