A test is simply an indicator of something that's real. What's real is that students are reading better. What's real is that more students are proficient in math.

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:16.000
What's real is that they're changing their future. Their trajectory is rising.

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:23.000
This means more scholarships. This means more opportunity. This means more choices. You know what? I'm impressed. And this lady has

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:32.000
changed my opinion of her and my perspective on her leadership. I am going to get behind her, and I pray that everyone in this community and in this room gets behind her as well because if

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:43.000
we all get behind her, we can make a difference. It's not about any of us in this room. It is about these children. Here are the five things that are changing most at the campus level.

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:52.000
How leaders are developed, how instruction is delivered, how curriculum is aligned,

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:57.000
how talent impacts learning, and how culture is created and sustained.

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:04.000
A big thing for me is doing right by people, and I'm a huge advocate for that.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:11.000
She's one of the most intelligent,

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.000
loving, and caring people I know. She genuinely cares about kids, and I'm just asking everybody to

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:25.000
give her a chance. Just give her a chance because we've seen her in action.

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.000
We know the goals she and her team are working toward.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:35.000
My motto is setting the standard, raising the bar, and striving for excellence—and you're doing exactly that. And if we can all work

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:45.000
together as a community, we can turn things around. So I appreciate everything that you have put in place.

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.000
Thank you.
