Hillsborough teacher is top reading coach
Florida has made a big deal about improving children's reading abilities in recent years, adding more reading classes and coaches to get the job done. One Hillsborough teacher has earned recognition for her role in the effort.
LoriSue Grieb, the reading coach at King High since 2005, has been named the state's High School Reading Coach of the Year at the Just Read, Florida! conference in Orlando. She was selected from among five finalists and was the only Times-area teacher in the mix at the elementary, middle or high school level.
Grieb has worked at King since 2000. She also taught elementary school in the district from 1980 to 1984.

Congratulations to her - now let's hope she keeps her job with all this education budget nonsense! It's pretty sad when those who make a difference in a student's life are on the chopping block in many counties across Florida. Way to go, Charlie!
