I wanted to take a moment to say hello to the Hinsdale community as I begin my role as the interim superintendent. My goals during this interim period are to help the Hinsdale School District continue to move forward and facilitate the transition to the permanent superintendent in July. Superintendent Woolridge and I spent some time over the holiday break before he headed off to a well-deserved retirement. Since then, I have been visiting the schools and saying hello to staff and students as I see them in classrooms, events, or in the hallways. I have had the opportunity to meet with members of the school board and the administrative team. As an educator, I believe it is our responsibility is to provide all children access to a high-quality, developmentally appropriate, safe, compassionate, responsive, and creative learning program. It is our collective responsibility to provide young people with the tools needed to succeed and excel in our global society.
All in all, I think I am getting the lay of the land and beginning to prioritize some immediate tasks. I want to thank the Board for entrusting the district leadership to me as your interim superintendent. I am honored to be a small part of the Hinsdale school community.
