It’s been a pleasure serving this district and our community as superintendent. This account will become my personal account. If you’d like to keep up on all the great things happening in Wichita Public Schools, follow @WichitaUSD259
It’s fitting my last public engagement as superintendent was at Gardiner Elementary today with my friend Principal Larry Perlman who’s also retiring. I’m so happy I could be at Gardiner’s fifth grade promotion ceremony to celebrate the end of the school year.
