It's been a while

Time sure does fly! I'm embarrassed that I've neglected this blog for so long. I've been busy though and well... life happens.
I'm pleased to say that since my last installment my elementary was given a distinction of being a "School of Promise" by the state superintendent. We're very proud of that and the staff deserves it.
Well like many of you the financial difficulties of being a public school are waging war on our small Ohio district. This is such a difficult time of the year discussing cuts and ways to save money. It's not something I'm excited about using my creativity on.
I'd love to hear of some unique things that other districts out there are trying in order to save jobs but also save money. Please don't be shy I'm willing to try anything.
