MEET MO
Maurice “Mo” Green has strived to be a champion for public education in North Carolina throughout a professional career that has included being a school district superintendent, a chief executive for a large foundation that awards grants supporting public education and a school board attorney.

Honoring Maurice "Mo" Green by Supporting Students in Guilford County

ZSR Celebrates Green's Service with $425,000 Donation to shift_ed

May 5, 2023
Former Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation (ZSR) Executive Director Maurice “Mo” Green is known statewide as a champion of public education.

In 2015, when Green transitioned from his role as superintendent of Guilford County Schools to ZSR, Guilford County community members established a scholarship fund through local nonprofit shift_ed in recognition of his work.

Now, eight years after the Maurice “Mo” Green Endowed Fund for shift_ed was first established, ZSR is donating $425,000 to the fund in honor of Green’s years of dedicated service to the Foundation.

Green chose shift_ed to receive the honorarium because he considers it a “gamechanger” for students and families in Guilford County. “During my time as superintendent,” he says, “I encountered many families who couldn’t envision an educational future for their kids beyond high school simply because of cost. shift_ed’s all-encompassing approach to supporting students, from tutoring to last-dollar tuition scholarships, helps students and families see that anything is possible.”

His Republican opponent is a member of the lunatic fringe and endorsed by Mom's for Liberty. What more do you need to know?

GOTV!

1. He's got quite the resume. I was happy to vote for him in the primary!

[littlemissmartypants]

2. He's the person who deserves an opportunity to serve the NC school children, parents and those who sacrifice

To serve to build a state full of well educated and trained citizens who are ready for the challenges of tomorrow. Our teachers, often putting in long hours without pay deserve proper leadership.

We certainly don't need some crazy person, calling us to murder whoever she disagrees with, promoting book bans and hobnobbing with the likes of Mom's for (so-called) Liberty. No, thank you!

Thank you for that vote, ms liberty! ❤️
