Progress Center for Black Women

Congratulations Dr. Turner!

Dr. Taren Turner, who has served as the director of student services for the Rockford Public School District the past two years, has been named the new director of teaching, learning and equity for the District.

The School Board approved Dr. Turner’s hiring at its regular meeting on June 8. She replaces Dr. Stephanie Leonard, who is retiring after 12 years in the role.

“I just want to say thank you all for this opportunity,’’ said Turner, who attended the meeting. “I am very excited to have the honor of leading in the Sun Prairie school district. I was attracted to this district because of the community and the investment that the community has in children’s education. I am looking forward to supporting students and staff.’’

Learn more about Dr. Turner by visiting the District website and reading the story about her hiring under the What’s Happening section of the front page.

Michael Johnson's passing is a huge loss for his family and this community. I had the pleasure of meeting Mike when he first made it to Madison after he accepted the offer to lead the Boys & Girls Club of Dane County. We spent countless hours working in community together and I will be forever grateful for the conversations we had over the years about leadership.

On behalf of the Progress Center for Black Women, I send my condolences to his family, loved ones, his Boys and Girls Club team and the many young people impacted by his leadership.
