I must admit today was humbling.  All of calls of support and congratulations was overwhelming.  Again thank you all for all of your support.

Most of the things the Board of Education does goes unseen. We take our lumps and keep going.  We understand that with public service comes criticism and little praise.  It takes a selfless mindset.  We keep doing what we do for the children.  School leadership is about taking care of the whole system, setting priorities and treating all people (students and staff) fairly.  We cannot tell one child or one teacher you are more important because of invisible lines. True Leadership does not afford the nepotism of privilege to the same school your child attends.  Leadership is about leading those whom place their faith in you.  Yesterday you placed your faith in me and I thank you all.

In all sincerity,
Tony
