Great conference put on by @txrea They do a great job of showing and highlighting the strengths and successes of rural schools throughout Texas. Thanks for letting both myself and Education Market Experts be a part of the conference.

I retired one year ago after 35 years in education. This past week I received a message from a student I had 34 years ago. Her son is in 6th grade. She hopes her son's 6th grade is as good as hers. You may never know your impact, then it may take 34 years. Respect our educators.

Further evidence that states need to focus as much on small and/or rural as they do on urban. All kids matter. New Report Shows Millions of Rural Students Facing Multiple Crises after COVID @The74 the74million.org/article/new…

Great to be in Chattanooga repping Education Market Experts. It is always nice to hear the inspirational comments, and then spend some time with @Joe_Sanfelippo. His thoughts and ideas inspired many of the positive changes @ButtonwillowUSD .

Thank you Tom O' Malley for being an incredible leader that focuses on kids first. There's a hidden crisis among California's rural kids. Would this teen make it? latimes.com/california/story…

There's a hidden crisis among California's rural kids. Would this teen make it?

Childhood trauma levels are high and college rates are low in rural California. What's that mean for a high achiever?

Headed to Flagstaff, AZ to represent Education Market Experts at the annual Arizona Rural Schools Conference. Looking forward to connecting with associations, "edupreneurs", and other educators who care about our schools in rural areas.

Today was my last board meeting. A short one to approve our budget & LCAP. Our LCAP was presented at Monday's board meeting. A pleasure to hand the new @ButtonwillowUSD Superintendent her name plate, and take mine home. @AdmmomH will be awesome. @SmallSchoolDA @ACSARegion_11

Encroachment continues in the outgoing Superintendent's Office. @AdmmomH last used a decorating app for furniture just before graduation. Today, 90 minutes before my last scheduled board meeting, she brings in her first plant. My office is down to a box and a computer @TimSSDA

Hard to imagine that with all the crazy things we must provide that providing a basic need like water doesn't seem important to our state. A fundraiser to make it so kids can have water? It makes no sense! @nrea1

Small school districts are vital to families and communities - as a system we must provide resources that support serving students and meeting basic needs - access to clean water is a basic need for ALL students! ⁦@SmallSchoolDA⁩ ksbw.com/article/salinas-ele…

Hey wait a sec! 75 minutes before graduation the new superintendent walks from her office to mine and uses an app to see how her new sofa will look. I feel like the Jaws Theme, ba dump ba dump. @AdmmomH Great graduation though. @TimSSDA

That feeling when I see a student who was in my intervention group and was an English Learner 10 years ago. Now learning Portuguese as a third language, then Arabic as a fourth because she wants to attend the University of Chicago to study International Relations/Business.

It has been a great couple of weeks as my tenure as Superintendent concludes. Surprised by receiving a plaque that stated what our school and community have accomplished together. @RepDavidValadao was kind enough to have read the information into The Congressional Record.

TY @MissDPayne2 for discussing the challenges and the high points of our school. You have always been valuable to our school community. TY @CalMatters for recognizing the challenges that exist are not urban only issues. These issues are rural also calmatters.org/education/k-1…
