Superintendent's Briefing

On Saturday, January 25, 2025, the members of the school board and Superintendent Turman spent 6 hours of quality time together at their first official Board Retreat of 2025. AP Williams kindly allowed us to use their community room for the day.

The theme was "Big Picture Thinking"

Mr. Turman gave all the board members a personality test that assigned a color for their personality type. It was called the true colors test. Mr. Turman made predictions about what personality color each board member would be and he was right more than half of the time!

We spent time talking about all the different skills and perspectives that each individual brings to the process and how that strengthens the team of 10. We reviewed basic enrollment and updated data as well as participated in activities to get to know each other better.

After lunch, each board member contributed to having a portrait artist come and coach us in painting portraits of each other. We only had an hour for the activity, so our pictures were not quite as "polished" as we would like, but Journey did a great job trying to help us in the short time we had. Jeff Gordon was the only portrait we could all pick out of a line up with certainty. Jeanne Webster painted him! We look forward to trying to get together again in April or May 2025.
