This is the first posting in my new blog, the purpose of which is to communicate with the Barstow school district community. I will try to post on a daily basis. My intent is to give information and also let you have a "peek in" to what we do here at the District, and how a school district runs. I am excited!
Today was a fairly quiet day at the District office. We are preparing the agenda for the 1/13 Board meeting. Also, I am meeting with our principals to discuss their goals for this year. We had a Management Team meeting at 3:30 today of the entire team, both classified and certificated. I am so very lucky to have such a competent team. Tomorrow night will be another insurance informational meeting. We have to find a new insurance carrier that can give us a better rate. I have made this a top priority! I keep hoping more certificated and classified staff will attend.
On a personal note, I am reading a new book, Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell. It is about what makes a great leader, and maybe I can pick up some tips. I have just finished the first chapter, and I'll keep you posted as I read along.
I'm wondering how our HS Boys and Girls Basketball team is doing against Apple Valley tonight. I'm going to try and catch the girls' game next Wednesday night.
