Decisions--And learning how to post!

I just realized that I never actually published this post until today. It was from December, 2009:

Decisions are not easy, especially when they involve so many people, with so many differences of opinion. This past week, I had hoped to visit the PLTs at Sanderson High School. I was looking forward to viewing what has been happening during the collaboration time at this school. I had to make a difficult decision. 90 minutes before my appointment at Sanderson, I was asked by our Superintendent to attend a meeting at the NC School Board Association. The meeting had representatives from 115 school boards across North Carolina. I was asked to go to represent the WCPSS in our quest for Race To The Top dollars. This could provide potentially millions of dollars and valuable resources for our schools, but only if North Carolina is selected. I was able to gather information to bring back to the Board and Staff. I have not decided what my personal viewpoint is on this program.


I was disappointed to miss my appointment at Sanderson High School and look forward to going to view their progress in the near future. Decisions aren't easy.
