Was grateful to spend one of my final days on the job at NCDPI behind the wheel of a school bus after touring the amazing @ThomasBuiltBus plant! From the day bus 87 pulled up to take me to elementary school in 1st grade to now, the school bus has symbolized opportunity for me!
This is another great look back at the work as well as all the special people and places.
EdNC’s Mebane Rash has been to schools in 13 counties over the course of two years with @JeremyRGibbs. Here’s what she learned about leadership in schools before, during, and after the pandemic.

As I wrap up my time serving at NCDPI in January, I have been looking back at photos I took over the years. Such wonderful memories! This is Franklin High grads walking the halls at Cartoogechaye Elementary in Macon County April 2019 (think this was my first school visit w/ DPI).

An unparalleled public servant. In the proclamation for her induction into the Order of the Long Leaf Pine one line from the state toast stood out: where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great. Lynn’s leadership has enabled that growth for generations of NC’s children!
There were cheers & some tears at today's @edstateboard_nc meeting as we honored Dr. Lynn Harvey, retiring after 35+ years of dedicated service. @CTruittNCDPI presented Dr. Harvey with the prestigious Order of the Long Leaf Pine. Thank you, Dr. Harvey for your incredible legacy!

At Micaville Elementary, there’s a message on the wall of the principal’s office: “Every child is a story yet to be told…” Helene will now be part of their stories. #nced ednc.org/at-micaville-elemen…
Great to be with @SwainNCSchools to celebrate the beginning of their journey to build a brand new middle school. A beautiful site looking up at the Great Smoky Mountains that will serve generations of Swain Middle Maroon Devils for many years to come!

More than 50,000 students in western North Carolina have been out of school for more than two weeks, as their communities recover from Helene.
Students from Old Fort Elementary are returning to class Monday — but not to their school.

Before the storm, during, and long after...To quote @EdNC_Rural "Our public school systems fall in the special category of anchor institutions...rooted by definition, moored to the communities they serve...they offer stability and support when the environment inevitably changes."

A great day visiting schools in Ashe County with @JanKingNC seeing the impact of @NCPrincipals leadership programming there. So many good things to see. I was even able to get in on the action during their archery lesson in PE!

Got to check in with one of my friends in Macon County Schools today. Met her 2 years ago when she was in 3rd grade (when she wanted to know how tall I was). I'd say she's catching up to me fast!

You don't need more intensity, you need more consistency.
Intensity impresses; consistency transforms.
