NEW DAYS

A lot has happened since that conversation with the state superintendent. Now the retirement of Doctor Paine has left us with questions regarding the direction taken in this state. Personally I will miss Dr. Paine's enthusiasm for tooling schools and teachers with what is needed for school improvement through leadership. I thank Dr. Paine for the opportunities I had in the Principal Institute and working with state department people in the leadership collaborative. Currently our political changes bring a different "wind". It will be interesting to see how the change in governor, the appointment of state superintendent, and the make up of the state board will impact our schools. Did we just become hyperpolitical?
