Canyons School District
Between the Lines
July 1, 2009
Dear Patrons and Colleagues:
As you know, since the beginning of the year I have tried very hard to send out a message virtually every week to keep you updated on our ideas, vision, and plans for the Canyons School District. Therefore, you may have been wondering why my weekly messages evaporated over the past six weeks. Suffice it to say that the final run-up to the official start of the district has been extremely hectic, and I have simply had to focus on more pressing priorities to ensure that the baton was passed smoothly from the Jordan School District to the Canyons School District when the day for the handoff arrived.
That said, I felt it would be appropriate to deliver a message on July 1, 2009 to honor the official beginning of the district by drawing an analogy between me and one of my heroes, Horace Mann. Not only are the dates of Mann’s entrance into the field of educational leadership synonymous with mine, Mann advanced some ideals which lie at the core of my personal and professional values. My ultimate goal is that I, and my staff, will be able to stay focused on these ideals and deliver superior education to the children of this new district.
