On the last Friday before the 2024-25 school year started, Vernon ISD held an Employee Convocation, with Supt. Dr. Kermit Ward laying out the district's game plan for the new year. He recently shared some of his points in an article published in The Vernon Daily Record. Here is the start of the article: I am often asked, “What did you do during your summer break?” I find so much humor in the question, as it is rare for teachers and other school officials like myself to partake in the break our students have. For us, summers are used to sharpen our skill set and conference with like colleagues in order to learn what is going on in other districts. Personally, I like to take time to read a good book that relates to my profession. This summer I read a book called “Shoe Dog” which is a story detailing, Nike founder Phil Knight’s struggles in creating Nike shoes. To read the rest of the article, please go to www.vernonisd.org
