Leader’s Biography 1996:
Superintendent of Schools, Rogers Independent School District, Rogers, TX
Bonds raised $2.5 million to develop two school-based clinics, which serve as health centers for the entire community. In an area with no other healthcare facilities, the centers also provide nutrition and medicine, as well as special needs programs for disabled children and pregnant teens. Bonds creatively integrates health and education: students conduct health histories of every household in their community to inform parents and neighbors about health problems and then research solutions on the Internet.
