Chosen for this week’s Staff Spotlight is Mrs. Sandra Neale. Currently, this is year 23 for her in the Brooklyn City School District. Outside of Brooklyn, she used to work for the city of Cleveland for almost nine years. She also worked at a softball family business for 13 years and used to be a bartender and waitress. In her free time, Mrs. Neale likes to coach, work with kids, care for herself, and stay active. Something you may not know about her is that she has an identical twin sister.
Q: What is your favorite part about working in Brooklyn?
A: “I would say the kids. I enjoy seeing kids excel. I also like watching them learn and grow through coaching.”
Q: Would you ever consider working a different job in Brooklyn?
A: “I do not know what it would be, but I like challenges. I am a very competitive person, so I would happily take on a new challenge.”
Q: What is an annoying aspect about being a Building Manager?
A: “Not being able to accomplish what I want. Sometimes, there is not enough time to get the things I want to get done.”
Q: What responsibilities do you have in your job?
A: “Food services, transportation, custodians’ jobs, and work being done in the district. I do everything but teach and the Superintendent’s work.”
Q: What is your favorite season?
A: “I love the time around Christmas. So, I would say Fall/Winter. I like the colors and the trees. I don’t like snow, but I’ll deal with it.”
Q: Do you have a favorite book?
A: “I don’t have a favorite book.”
Q: Are you a coffee or a tea type of person?
A: “I drink both. I have coffee in the morning. Then, I have tea throughout the day.”
