- I would tell the board to stay in the boardroom and out of my office. Give me their directions at board meetings.
- I would take matters to the board for decisions, not endless discussions.
- I would treat employees fairly and set clear expectations for those who report to me;
- I would tell my Administrators to be clear with their subordinates, set clear expectations, and hold subordinates accountable; and duplicate that down the line;
- I would tell Administrators that their work and work of teachers is to be limited to what they can accomplish during normal working hours; their free time and that of the teachers is not to be intruded upon!
- I would tell board members to stay out of the schools, unless they are there as a parent of their enrolled child. Their job is directing the District, not meddling in the schools.
- I would tell board members that employees work for me, not for them. Stay away from them. If employees whine to board members, re-direct them to their superiors;
- I would tell all employees that I expect to hear about problems fast - through the chain-of-command. Only contact me if their complaint is not resolved.
- I won't read anonymous complaints. There will no retribution or retaliation for complaints with merit.
- Students are expected to conduct themselves with good manners and respect for others. The principals will have paddles on their walls. Don't find out what they are for!
- Teachers are not babysitters. They are not to be threatened, cussed out, disrespected.
- We are going to turn out students who will be productive citizens, capable of earning a living and staying out of jail.
- The Student Handbook will be reduced to one page. Students won't have to spend nights and week-ends reading it.
- Make school and life fun!
- If you don't like the way I run things, fire me.
