One Wish

I would like to provide some more context to one of my recent blogs.  In it, I shared the sentiment of Deer Park Superintendent Jay Phillips who believes the coronavirus crisis has created a different lens for educational leaders: “Now more than ever is a time when our community needs our leadership and our voice.”  In a virtual meeting this week with his school districts’ leadership team for the Ohio Public School Advocacy Network, he followed up by posing the question, if you had one wish for the good that could come from this crisis, what would it be?  The resounding response was that family relationships would become stronger, parent involvement with the schools would increase and, as a community, everyone would grow closer.
