An “angry parent” wanted to meet with me yesterday. This was delivered about an hour after we were done. Most parents just want an understanding of the situation and an apology when one is owed. Treat people how you want to be treated.
I am honored to serve
@HAABSE3
in this role. Dr. Elaine Bailey (RIP) used to tell me that I didn’t see what she saw but I needed to trust her and lead out. Sometimes you just have to become the leader that those who love you believe you to be.

@FBISD
community lost a great leader last night & I lost a friend. Laurie was intentional about empowering staff & students to lead. She set high goals & met them. I loved observing her with her leadership team, doing morning announcements, & just chatting. I miss her dearly.
“WE NEED PRAYERS”: Jordyn Hawkins, 15, suffered a spinal cord injury during a football game at Fort Bend’s Austin HS 2 weeks ago. He sent us this video tonight. There is a prayer rally tomorrow night on the same field where he was hurt.

@TheExecEFFECT
!!!! Chief of Schools looks good on you. Your passion, expertise, proven record of excellence and overall “Crearness” will impact the futures of hundreds of thousands of students. This is just as it should be!!!
I don’t know who was more excited about our
@FortBendISD
Teacher of the Year Banquet, the teachers or the leaders. Teachers are our
#1
asset in our quest to inspire and equip our student for futures beyond what they can imagine. Congratulations to the honorees.
95/5 Don't let the the 5% change the energy, encouragement, and joy that the 95% receive under your leadership. Be grateful for the 95 and treat them like meta humans.
I may start something with this one BUT I think

must be a member of their PTO.
Only Texas elementary educators can appreciate this. Reading Academy has been real but it’s time for me to take back my evenings and weekends. Free at last.
Allow me to reintroduce my sister, President, friend, conference roommate, and one of the most dedicated educators in Texas, Dr. Julia Andrews!!!!! I am peacock proud. I also find it interesting that one of her committee members was named, “Dr. Bailey”!

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
This is so true. I tell aspiring principals that if they want to be liked, go sell ice cream. Leadership is about doing what is best for those you serve and there will never be a time when everyone is 100% happy with your decisions.
Zip code does not determine destiny! I know the power of education. I am beyond excited to say, congratulations to my bff, the DR. RHONDA DEAN MASON!

You’ve got to get up early in the morning to beat HAABSE’s work in the community. The Summit sponsored by our Youth Involvement Committee is off to a good start.
I was Oprah this week during our DSL time at Leadership Launch. Using a survey, we collected answers to the question, “What’s something you’ve always wanted to ask DSL?” Questions flooded in creating a fun, intimate space to share with leaders.

Raymond wants to be an actor when he grows up, and Mansfield ISD is helping him achieve his dream. He’s learning to collaborate with others, and he’s exploring his favorite subjects of math and science. Way to go, Raymond!
