FLINT - All three newcomers vying for a one-year seat on the Flint Board of Education expressed varying degrees of support for the reform plan backed by the current board. Parent Jennifer Dillard said she strongly supports the plan...

Superintendent Walter Milton Jr.'s sweeping reform plan included school closings, curriculum changes, grade reconfigurations at the secondary level and creation of an academy for high-achieving students and another with same-sex classrooms. ...

Dillard, 34, disagreed. She said enrollment wouldn't be down so much if the district worked harder to solve truancy problems. "I think we need to focus our efforts on the kids instead of closing those buildings," she said. "Let's bring these kids back into the schools. Let's get them back off the street." She said she would cut spending on staff training by sending fewer teachers to conferences. ...

*** Jennifer Dillard Age: 34 1. Work: Children's protective services/drug court supervisor for Department of Human Services in Genesee County. Education: Flint Northern High School graduate; bachelor's degree in social work; master's degree in public administration from University of Michigan-Flint. Community involvement: Title I parent group at Neithercut Elementary School; member of Family Worship Center Church in Flint; volunteer at Bryant Elementary School. Family: Married. Three children, two of school age: a Neithercut Elementary fourth-grader and a Southwestern Academy ninth-grader.
