Teams Seminole & Hernando putting our brains together for school improvement & school finance planning. Thanks to @ECTAC_Florida for always bringing us together.

I was able to catch up with my buddy John Stratton, who is now with @BaileyEducation, at the @fasfepa conference this past week. Always great catching up with old friends and discussing what we can to together to make our schools thrive.
I was so happy to connect with my old friend today at the Exceeding Expectations conference. We are both in different ventures now, and enjoying the change.
