While sitting in a presentation at the Director's Academy in Bar Harbor, ME I received my first email from Anna indicating that our first review is scheduled for mid September for Stonington, ME. I am so excited! Never been there--should be beautiful at this time of year. The job is starting to feel real!

After 25 years of working in the Westbrook Schools, I have requested a professional leave of absence to be a Distinguished Educator for the Department of Education in Augusta ME. In this position, I will be traveling around the state of Maine to visit school districts to complete program reviews for special education programs.
