Dallas ISD executive addresses BCD
 Baylor College of Dentistry will host Dr. Carol Francois, chief of staff for the Dallas
Independent School District, at noon Feb. 26 in Room 605. Sponsored by the college's Student National Dental Association in recognition of Black History Month, Francois'
one-hour presentation titled "The Power of Unity Within Our Community" is open to faculty, staff and students. The U.S. Navy will provide a complimentary lunch at 11:45 a.m.
"We are pleased to welcome Dr. Francois to the BCD campus. Her topic is timely because unity is the reverberating theme in the black community and the world at large," said Kelton Stewart
(D2), SNDA president. "The program allows everyone the opportunity to focus on the significance of Black History Month and more specifically how the dental community can be a vital part of that unity by
meeting needs and being aware."
As chief of staff for Dallas Superintendent Mike Moses, Francois is charged with supporting the executive operations of the superintendent's office. Her duties include interfacing with all departments throughout the
school district to develop cohesive and efficient management operations. She also serves as liaison to the Texas Education Agency in matters involving districtwide impact.
Francois has been a career educator serving in a variety of assignments at DISD, TEA, Richardson ISD, Region 10 Education Service Center and Wake County Public Schools in North Carolina. Her professional
experiences range from English teacher to associate commissioner of education for the state of Texas, where she was responsible for overseeing the administration of more than $2 billion in federal funding.
Francois holds several degrees in education: a bachelor's degree from Lock Haven University and a master's degree from Temple University, both in Pennsylvania, as well as a doctorate in educational administration
from Texas A&M University-Commerce.
