We ran into Sharon Parker (not literally) at an event recently and were, as always, so impressed with her seemingly boundless energy and enthusiasm. Here's a school district superintendent who wears so many hats, juggles so many balls, deals with such unfair criticism -- and is still out there kneeling down to talk to an elementary-school kid. She's a great ambassador for our school district.
And look at this website! A wealth of information.
We were involved in an interesting discussion the other day about whether the district should drastically cut its sports programs. The proponent argued that the cost savings could be amazing, and given the plethora of youth programs run by the Y, the URA and such (and the huge crowds they attract), kids would certainly not lack options for exercise, competition, team-building skills, etc.
