Dr. Hodge is overjoyed to have the opportunity to work together with the community, staff, families, and the governing board to give RSD students the best equitable outcome possible and to help prepare them for life after elementary school. One goal as a governing board member is to ensure students are seen, heard, and valued by building relationships with students first. Dr. Hodge also believes staff wellness is essential, and their needs should be addressed.

Board Vice President

Dr. Megan Frankiewicz is a lifelong educator and mother who has worked throughout her career to ensure that students across Phoenix have access to high-quality education regardless of their demographics or zip codes.  
 
Dr. Frankiewicz was raised in rural Northern Wisconsin in a family of educators. She moved to Arizona in 2003 to attend Arizona State University. She is a three-time ASU graduate, holding a bachelor's degree in political science, a Master's in education and an Ed. D. in Educational Leadership. She became a teacher through Teach For America and taught first—and third-grade English Language Learners in the Balsz School District before becoming an instructional coach in the district.  
 
As a teacher, many of Dr. Frankiewicz's students were Somali refugees, and through her relationships, Megan developed a passion for supporting refugee and migrant families. She regularly volunteers with St. Mary's Food Bank and the Welcome to America Project.

Dr. Frankiewicz serves as the Chief Academic Officer of Vista College Preparatory, a K-8 network of five Title 1 schools serving Central Phoenix. She helped found the school in 2013 and has since overseen academics, principal development and teacher development for the network. Under her support, Vista College Prep's 2018 Hadley Campus was named a 2018 Blue Ribbon School by the US Department of Education.
 
"I believe that it is our collective responsibility to ensure that our students attend a school every day where they are known, valued and able to achieve academic success," she said.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to share in that work here in Roosevelt as a Governing Board Member, and I look forward to serving South Phoenix alongside the rest of our Board."
