“Creativity is just connecting
things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little
guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed
obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect
experiences they've had and synthesize new things.”
~

Everyone agrees that the past
several years have been difficult financial times in education. In my thirteen years as superintendent
funding has been cut more years than there have been even modest
increases. Through the tough times Perry
Central has stayed strong and continued to build new programs. One reason is our relentless vision to do
what is right for our students, but to do that under difficult conditions
something more is necessary. We must
think creatively, and we are fortunate at Perry Central that we have board
leadership and a team that is always willing to look at situations from multiple
perspectives to save money and/or make things better. We don’t say things can’t be done; we always
know there is a way. We really don’t
feel like what we do is anything special.
We just make things work, and somehow things do always work out when we
live in the world of possibilities.
Have a great
week!
