DALLAS, May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Voyager Expanded Learning announced today
that former Houston Independent School District Trustee and Board
President, Kevin H. Hoffman has joined the company as a National District
Liaison. In his new role, Mr. Hoffman will work with educators from across
the country, enhancing the customer service experience and sharing student
results.
"We are excited to have Mr. Hoffman become a part of the Voyager team.
His experience as a School Board President, his advocacy for children and
his numerous accomplishments make him ideal for the position," says Ron
Klausner, president of Voyager Expanded Learning.
Mr. Hoffman was elected to the Houston Board of Education in 1999 and
re-elected in 2003. He was elected by his peers to the position of first
vice president in 2001 and 2002. In 2003, Hoffman became the first trustee
from District II to serve as President of the Board of Education.
Hoffman has established and participated in many educational and
community-based programs. In 2001 he created the Barbara Jean Hoffman
Memorial Foundation ( http://www.bjhfoundation.com ), a nonprofit organization
named in honor of his late mother, which provided over $100,000 in
scholarships, and school supplies to thousands of economically
disadvantaged children in the Houston area.
As board president in 2003, Hoffman introduced the HISD Board of
Education's Monitoring System. This reform-driven board policy is the first
of its kind to systematically measure HISD's progress in achieving district
goals and core values.
His educational and community affiliations included service on the
Board of Directors of the Texas Association of School Boards, Chair-Elect
of the National Caucus of Black School Board Members, and service on the
advisory boards of the Neuhaus Education Center and the Texas Alliance of
Black School Educators.
