Oftentimes I’m asked what a superintendent of schools does … My answer? I’m a CEO who ensures adult issues don’t get in the way of what students need. 📝 While there is a lot more to it and the role is far from easy, my happy place remains in the presence of children.

As I got dressed for work this morning I was reminded of a comment someone made to me a few years ago. I was told, “... you know it’s unlikely you’ll ever become a superintendent - unless it’s maybe in an urban district - with natural hair.” Let’s check the receipts ...

Equity is not a buzz word, program, checklist, or initiative ... in order for you to drive & expand your vision, it must be embedded within every action taken and considered as you solve problems of practice. Challenge yourself to omit the word from your vocab & model the way!

In full transparency, I’ve written many letters 4 Supts, yet today I struggled w/what the “new” Supt should say as I penned a letter to my community. I chose 2 focus on student & staff support vs. my opinion. I literally said out loud to myself, “Welcome to the Superintendency.”

When “my thoughts and prayers are with them” becomes cliché there’s a much bigger problem and response necessary! As a mother, educator, and superintendent my heart aches … no one should have to send their child(ren) to school or go to work wondering if tragedy will reach them.

As a leader, admitting when you’re wrong is not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of accountability and maturity. It teaches those you lead the importance of humility. We don’t lead in perfection but truth. - Wendy Whitaker

So ... thank you to @chccs for allowing me to lead here, authentically. I no longer question how I look or whether or not I’m “too Black” to do so. What are you being told you can’t do because of how you look or who you are? I challenge you to BE YOU and generate your receipts!

Excellence in education requires perseverance. To me forward thinking means planning for and implementing what you CAN DO rather than perseverating on barriers + what can’t be done. Perhaps focusing on our path rather than our past will get us there. We owe it to our children.

Some people believe in equity work but few are actually committed to it ... there’s a difference! @LottieSpurlock thank you for your grit and persistence on the equity leadership journey.

Sometimes you have to tweet just because ... yesterday while checking on office moves and our week of summer cleaning, I noticed I was twinning with our Parent Engagement Specialist, Carla Smith, so we had to snap a picture. I love my team’s willingness to have fun at work!

Today I participated in 15 quick 20 minute “pop-up check-ins” with Principals, Assistant Principals, and district staff (certified, classified, and administrators) just to connect, answers ?s, hear concerns, etc. I’m exhausted AND it was the best ... I’ve got to do this again!

What a ❤️warming reality check to overhear my middle schooler tell his sister about his fave teacher providing examples of how the teacher is funny, engaging, & intentionally makes attempts to CONNECT w/him. Then I heard, “I hope I actually get to meet him in person one day.” 😏

Anyone else in deep thought about the fact that these two Civil Rights giants passed away on the same day in the midst of an eerily familiar time that mirrors much of the movement that they fought so hard for? Much love and respect as they both rest in perfect peace.

“Return to School” planning & decision making are important & so are plans w/actionable steps 2 combat systemic racism. Let’s stop using the word “equity” 4 everything to articulate what doesn’t seem right. Instead model equity leadership w/out misusing or overusing the word!
