\u201cI\u2019m proud of what our school system has accomplished together, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to work with each of you and see you all work for our kids and their families. Your unwavering belief that we all need to work together in setting every child to academic success,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
