There were a couple in-house candidates as well as out of district candidates. We we had face-to-face interviews, myself and Mrs. Calibri, with the two in-house candidates. We spoke at length about everything from management to leadership to curriculum um to different scenarios and the person who we both settled on um we felt is an excellent choice to lead the high school. And when we ran
005that name by the personnel committee, there were questions. Um, we had plenty of information based on the interviews that we had and I believe it was a unanimous decision with the committee as well. >> That's correct. >> I had uh questions because I thought I was the better looking one in the district, but now it looks like he's going to take that role. >> I I could say some, but I I'll wait I'll wait behind I behind closed doors. >> So, at this evening's uh meeting, we have one agenda.

Um but he very quickly was able to become he had a district vision very quickly. He assimilated down to the elementary students
009and was able to what I was able to see was he was able to walk into a building and be able to, you know, see children for who they were. And he was able to go down and I'm sorry, Lisa. Um, be able and, you know, see from my point of view, he was able to walk into a building and be able to alleviate principles and and take over things for them and do it with ease. He had he helped me my very first year with QAC where we had think tank sessions and I was like wow this guy is smart like we were able to just bang way like he he didn't punch a clock it was just you know we were in there and he was able to you know we were up
010to looking at mandates and curriculum when the curriculum all changed it was like Jonathan myself and another you know two supervisors in the room just crunching away he knows curriculum he knows instruction he knows best practice is and then you know now when he was up in the high school I just saw him sore you know as an administrator so I really think that you guys chose a really good candidate and I'm really happy for the high school and as a parent I can say that you know my kids are doing it too because you really make a difference in the high school I'm really proud of you so get back to work back to whip. You know, I cracked the whip. So, get back to work. >> Oh, now we can just turn
