GUILFORD COUNTY — Superintendent Sharon Con-treras has been brought up in education circles as a pos-sible candidate for U.S. sec-retary of education, and she says she is open to the idea.
She told The High Point Enterprise on Wednesday that she hasn’t been formally contacted by President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team.
“I’ve seen my name men-tioned in social media, and I’m honored people think that much of me,” Contreras said.
She said her main concen-tration now is leading Guil-ford County Schools.
The Enterprise wasn’t able
to reach a representative with the Biden transition team on Wednesday.
Contreras, who has 30 years of experience as an edu-cator, became Guilford Coun-ty Schools superintendent four years ago. She came to Guilford County after serv-ing as superintendent of the Syracuse, New York, school district.
Contreras’ name has been circulated nationally as a possible education secretary since Biden secured the pres-idency as votes were tallied a month ago. An article in the education trade publication The Hechinger Report lists Contreras among 11 women of color that the writer, Julie
Rafal-Baer, thought would make good education secre-tary candidates.
An article in Forbes earlier this month named Contreras among three education lead-ers who have demonstrated excellence.
Another possible can-didate is U.S. Rep. Alma Adams, D-12th, according to The Charlotte Observer. Adams was a professor before becoming a state legislator and later a congresswoman representing the Charlotte metropolitan area.
