If selected as the next city schools superintendent, Pamela Brown says she’ll spend her first 90 days learning more about the district, meeting with students and getting out into the community.

She would spend her first two weeks learning about the district and how its children are progressing.

“The next six weeks, I would go out into the community,” Brown told the crowd of about 90 people Wednesday night at Choffin Career and Technical Center. “It would be an opportunity for you to talk to me about what’s happening in Youngstown.”

After listening to various groups, Brown said she would update those community groups on plans for improvement for the district.

Brown, an assistant superintendent in the Philadelphia School District, has a doctorate in education and previously worked in administration at schools in Richmond, Va., Charlotte, N.C., and Phoenix.

The Philadelphia school district has 165,000 students in 271 schools.
