"The people are issuing a mandate that centers on our children. Let’s listen in first and then dig into the rationale, meaning and what might come from the findings." -@angelique1971 #MPC21

[Nikolai Vitti @Dr_Vitti]

You know you’re getting somewhere when students know who the superintendent is when you visit classrooms and walk the halls on unannounced visits. It’s about visibility and engagement! More to do but we are making progress.
