I had a chance to speak with the elementary school principal today. The good news is that she already embraces Caley and calls her "her." She said that she spent some time on the TYFA website, which I really appreciate. The bad news is that she is heading to Europe for a month tomorrow morning, and I don't think I had her full attention, but I completely don't blame her -- I wouldn't be able to concentrate the day before a big trip like that, either. She also didn't think the in-service would be a good idea, which disappointed me, but I haven't given up yet.
One thing she said that I thought was interesting, but not surprising, was that she didn't think there would be any problems with the faculty or students, but the parents would likely be a problem if there is one. She said she knows the parents, and we live in a very conservative area. Again, not a surprise.
The other good news is that she asked me to reach out to the school superintendent and the assistant superintendent, so that they are aware. I sent them an email today, and hope to talk with them in the near future. So we'll see ...
