I first met my guest when I sent a general inquiry to my school board representative and it made it up to the top, receiving a meeting invite from my guest to meet in person. I spent nearly an hour with these busy guys learning more about what they are up against and how we as a community can be part of the solution between schools and a city. One thing I always take away is that these are caring hard working people also with a lot of responsibility and today we will get a chance to hear a little bit more about what goes into leading a school.
