Uh first I want to say I am tremendously honored for this privilege to lead the Clark County Public School System. Um I love this community. I love the people in this room. I love our kids. I've had uh
004probably 3,000 of them as principal. Um I want to thank everybody again for coming out. Um people want to look other places. The answer is here. The answer is KDE. The answer is in Faget County. I believe the answer is in Clark County. I think the answer is in this [Music] room. I think I'm going to challenge everyone here. This is a great moment. Uh, again, very honored, very privileged, but the work starts now. I'm not going to take a whole lot of time to celebrate because our kids need us. Again, I'm privileged that the board thinks I'm the guy to lead, but one man alone, one person alone will not deliver what our kids need. And that is the very best. So I challenge you, wake up every morning, say prayers for our kids,
005but then do right by our kids. Be the best version of you every day. Every day. Not when administrators coming in, not when you feel good, not when you feel bad. Every day. Because it is a privilege to get to work with these young people. They are the best on the planet. And if you don't believe that, you don't see what I see in our kids. And I've had all of them. So beyond reservation, again, together we will move mountains. Together, we will provide the education, worldass education our kids deserve. So again, this is not so much about me. It's about us, our community. One voice, one vision, excellence for our kids. I appreciate it. Again, a wise man once told me that leadership sometimes is about brevity. Again, I'm honored and privileged to be
006here. Thank you. Go RDC. That's go Cardinal. Cardinals. There we go. Appreciate. Thank you. [Applause] [Music] Come mingle. Very awkward silence.
