Wednesday, July 22, 2009. SKIES is not the limit. Last week I was encumbered by the monotony of performing data entry into our Service, Knowledge and Information Exchange System, otherwise known as SKIES.

This past year DPI funds were dispersed over five school districts and were leveraged with the state Building Bridges funding to keep at-risk high school students engaged in their education.

Monday, January 26, 2009. I recently watched the inspirational movie “Coach Carter”. It’s a true story about a small business owner and former basketball player who takes a handful of boys from an inner-city high school and teaches them not only teamwork through basketball but about the importance of believing in oneself beyond high school. Actually, who are you not to be? Life is full of surprises. It throws lessons at us so quickly that we inevitably get hit so hard that the impact can cause a dent...
