Leadership matters. Why do they leave? Lack of supports? Toxic culture? Lack of vision? What can be done to reduce the impact?
25,000 principals leave their schools every year. 70% of hired principals will leave their school within 5 years. It costs ~$75,000 to recruit & train each replacement. Think of the money saved, stability added to schools, & how more successful they would be if we prepare/mentor them effectively.

Did you know Pi is classified as an irrational & transcendental number? The digits of Pi begin with 3.1415.. but continue on forever without any repeats or patterns! The current Guiness World Record for memorizing digits of Pi is 70,000! How many do you know?
“It doesn’t matter what you do so long as what you do matters…” @craiggroeschel Master Class has me really thinking this morning.

Always proud of @SiouxCityNorth and the @NorthHighStuCo1 for the work they do to engage with our students and community. Thanks to @sai_iowa for giving us an avenue to show off our student council members and sponsors work! #SAIConf22 #sccsd
Great day of working together. Our leadership team reviewed how to build strong, positive relationships - clear expectations and being on the same page. Foundation is set for a great year! #sccsd
Friends and colleagues of #iaedchat If you gave your staff a book to read over summer to prepare them for the unknown start of the 20-21 school year, what would you choose? I was thinking something blended or trauma... open to ideas. – at Sioux City, IA
Today we worked in the yard. We were physical, we got our hands dirty, waved at neighbors, and did it all without being on technology. It was a good, needed day.
We are all in unprecedented times. This is hard to understand as an adult. I cannot imagine being a high school senior at this moment. My letter to the @SiouxCityNorth Class of 2020. #sccsd – at Sioux City, IA

Staff safety @siouxcityschool is important. No students today with a workday to change semesters. Staff might be able to get in this AM, but the drive home will be a challenge. All SCCSD facilities will be closed 1/17/20. Thanks for a great 1st sem. Stay safe and warm.
Great things happening with our teachers! #implementPD #SCNStars @SiouxCityNorth

I THINK: Blowouts are becoming more and more the norm in high school football. That doesn't bode well for the future of the sport. @johnsears sounds off.
