Before coming to Allegan County as the AAESA Supervisor of Planning and Monitoring, Dr. Woodrow was a special education teacher in the Kalamazoo Public Schools and the Comstock Public Schools in Kalamazoo County. She became the Supervisor of Special Education in the Comstock Public Schools in April, 2003. She received her Doctorate Degree in Special Education Administration from Western Michigan University in April, 2003. In addition to administration, her doctoral research and study focused on effective programming for students with emotional impairments.

She lives in Richland, Michigan with her husband, Rob Woodrow, who is the assistant principal at Gull Lake High School and her 1 year old son, Parker. Alice devotes the remaining hours of the day to her son and husband at home, but when she does get a few extra minutes to herself she enjoys running, road biking, and swimming. 

“I am looking forward to the opportunity to continue programming partnerships already established between departments at the AAESA and strengthening collaborations and services being provided to the local districts on Allegan County,” shared Dr. Woodrow.
