Elie Bracy III wrapped up two business calls before strolling into Wilson High School recently. Someone’s always calling the school division superintendent: an administrator, a School Board member, a city official.
He slid the smartphone into his suit pants pocket as he approached the door, even though it kept buzzing. He had a lunchtime appointment with the school’s culinary classes.
Bracy hovered over a group of students searing chicken and creating a creamy mushroom sauce, and another mixing dough for cookies. Teacher Kathy Pitt nudged him to try his hand at baking.
