Lisa Bridges Quotations

We've got an awful lot going on next week.

We want feedback from all those who our closely involved in every aspect of the process of educating our children. As a board, we felt it was best for us to hand deliver the surveys so that they know their input is both wanted and needed.

We just aren't at the point in the search where we are ready to discuss that yet.

We hope this is going to make a difference.

We're encouraging everyone to include comments that are not specifically addressed in the three sections. Every single comment will be read by board members. The more knowledge we have, the better the decision we can make.

We're very pleased to find someone with Dr. Calvert's background and experience. She's very attuned to the role a good superintendent should play and she's committed to helping us find the right match for our district.

We are very pleased with the caliber of the top nine. We've had a lot of interest and we're pleased with the quality of the candidates.

There's a lot of details and we've already worked about 15 hours as a board just to get us to this point. The one thing we do know is that word has gotten out. Within two days of Dr. Burns' announcing her retirement, we had requests for applications. The interest is there.

It's like their opinions mirror our same concerns.

That is an option we could consider. We're looking forward to Thursday and will then decide on that.

It has been time-consuming, but we're getting to the point where we will have to make some hard decisions.

This has to do with the advertising and we'd like to be fair to everyone.
