Internship Plan followup with the superintendent
Mr. Richard Bain, Silsbee I.S.D. superintendent, evaluated my internship plan. He commented that my plan was very well thought out and attainable. He stressed he knew my “real” job of high school administrator was very time consuming. He insisted I focus on “killing two birds with one stone” in regards to superintendence projects and day to day work assignments.  Mr. Bain recommended helping to create a new extra-curricular handbook for the 2011-2012 school year. The school board has asked for a new standardize guideline be created for the district. They would like to have something to consider by the April board meeting. At this point I intend on working with Mr. Bain, the board, and other district administrators to accomplish their goal.
