Have you met SANFORD HORN?

Educator:      I have fought in the trenches as a public school educator in some of the most challenging school districts in these United States – namely Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC – during the last decade teaching American History, Social Studies, World Geography and Language Arts at both the middle school and high school levels.

Community Reporter:       In addition to working as a teacher, I also spent several years with a local Northern Virginia newspaper chain as a community reporter. One of my beats as a reporter involved covering the activities at numerous schools in these local communities. Such activities included, but were not limited to, profiling new teachers and principals, interviewing new principals regarding their goals for that school’s future, special activities involving students, interviewing both parents and students. I also handled the more meaty subjects as school budgets, drug and alcohol use among students, crime in the schools, and the all-important and controversial Standards of Learning (SOL).

Alexandria City Public Service:  I was appointed by the Mayor and City Council for the past two years to serve as a member of the Public Records Advisory Commission (PRAC) (2004-present).  The Commission provides guidance to the Records Administrator & Archivist on matters pertaining to archives and records management, as well as implementation of the City’s records management program.
