With the exception of the March school-board meeting, I think that I would be more available than many other people who work more normal kind of jobs.

The big issue facing any school is very simple. It boils down to one word - excellence.

I think that is unprofessional, I think that is unethical and I am aghast that somebody would do that. This is a closed club, and they don't want anybody in their club, and that's what this e-mail says.

I think that our public schools sometimes get a bad rap - and sometimes deservedly so. I think the goal of every school system has to be excellence.

I don't know what his agenda is. I have to listen to what he has to say. I vote for the man who I think is going to do the best job for the state.

The Monday after Selection Sunday, I'm scrambling to learn all the teams that I'll have to do later in the week. And then I'm out on the road.
