Vernon ISD Superintendent Dr. Kermit Ward's latest message to the community was released today.
"I am often asked by many if I still have to work over the summer. Those summer days off were long gone for me the moment I stepped out of the classroom as a teacher and into school administration. When you have an organization of good teachers, who rightfully put pressure on the administration to stay a step ahead of them; there is just no time for rest or to take a break.
This administration used this summer to leverage the district to get better as much as we could." To read Dr. Ward's entire message go to www.vernonisd.org
