Technology, she believes, will help insure that they are able to meet set standards.” Susie and her husband, Mike, live in the Poplar Creek area of Bellevue. Mike serves as a SWAT team supervisor Metro Police. They have a daughter, Maddie, who is three years old, and they expect a second daughter within the next few days. Susie, who just last week went on maternity leave from Bellevue Middle, will return to the classroom there when school begins in the fall.
