Board Member Pattison and Marino


SSDA imageSmall School Districts’ Association State Conference

I returned last night from the Statewide Small School Districts’ Association (SSDA) State Conference in Sacramento with 400 Superintendents and Board members.  It was a wonderful conference with Yuri Calderon, our esteemed Chief Business Officer and Legal Counsel, being appointed as the Executive Director of SSDA, effective June 1, 2024.

We also had two Board members attend the conference, Michael Marino and Trevor Pattison.  Mr. Marino and Mr. Pattison joined Mr. Calderon and myself in sharing best Governance practices to attendees.  Another highlight was leading Superintendents and Board members on a 6:30 AM run around the Capitol.  Yes, Mike, Trevor and Yuri joined me!  They are Rock Star leaders in every way!  My final reflection was one of gratitude.  I’m truly grateful to be a part of such a wonderful leadership team that strives for excellence in education not only at Cold Spring but for all children.

This morning we had some speedy and enthusiastic runners join me around our grass field.  I have attached a few photos so you can see how endorphins from running put a smile on all of our faces!
