Rosa died of breast cancer at forty-nine or fifty, during Art’s first year of teaching in Connecticut. This is the kind of biographical fact that tends to be placed in parentheses in official documents, treated as context rather than content. It should not be. The loss of a mother who was herself an educator who believed, according to the oral history, that every student can make it because she made it is not background. It is the reason someone eventually builds something. Art Fuller taught in Connecticut. He moved to Tennessee, where his FullerMusic initiative was featured in FamilyPC Magazine and earned presidential recognition for using technology to connect students to their authentic creative voices. From 2004 to 2011, he worked as a Research Associate and Budget Officer for the Tennessee State Board of Education, where he led the reconciliation of the state’s $3.79 billion annual education funding formula, attesting personally to its accuracy each month on behalf of Tennessee’s children. He helped secure what was then Tennessee’s largest federal grant in history: $501 million for education innovation and reform.
