I love this BOE member so much! The fact that they are willing to step up for you publicly speaks volumes. I am assuming that the 5 that opted out already know that they WANT their children in your classroom and feel no need to be there - but I, too, am a relentless optimist.
When you write this as a full story or book or whatever, I suggest you consider making the principal and the superintendent fuller, more concrete characters. Right now, I'm getting them confused and I am a teacher who has worked with people in those positions.
After yesterday's post, I downloaded the audiobook of "Something Missing." Great story. Well done.
Yes, I've been purposefully wooden about them (and Paul) because I don't want to mischaracterize them publicly here. I don't know the superintendent anymore, but I do know Paul and my principal, and when written as a book, it will be more specific and may change details if requested. Also true for Sara and my union president. Just being deferential to them here but will be more fullsome in the book.

This shows how beneficial collaboration can be when you are facing a challenging situation.
Even though I know how this comes out, I’m wanting to cross my fingers that everything comes out alright.
