Reflections

We have completed our benchmarking trip and are preparing to return to Southern California. Rick Miller, Jay McPhail and I arrived on the East Coast last Sunday evening and have since visited with 10 districts, in West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland.This opportunity to "get out of the mix" and look at what others are doing has provided clarity of vision and new energy to fuel our work in Riverside.

Special Thanks to Randy and his team at BOSS (incredible stuff), Rick with NNDS, John at JeffCo (you are a leader who get's it), Bert and Mike at BCPS (we will be in touch), Tommy and Tony from the School of the Future (your passion is contagious), and the gang at Centennial (what a team). Also, thanks go to Chad at Blackboard and Scott at Microsoft for their assistance in setting up the trip.
