I intended to blog this info a LOT sooner, but the weekend just got away from me. My purpose in travelling up North last weekend was to attend a conference at the State Capitol with some of my colleagues at Biola. The Executive Director of the State County Superintendents Association is a Biola graduate and acted as our tour guide for the day. By the time we arrived back at the airport, we had met Sr. Policy Analysts for the Governor, the Director of Data & Tracking for the State (all of our state's test scores! Ack!), the Staff Director for the Senate Education Committee, and the Executive Director of the State Board of Education. We had also eaten lunch in the basement of the Capitol and taken a tour, during which we were allowed entry onto the Senate Floor and the Assembly room.
In the horseshoe, we passed Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's office, which was full of balloons and staff members celebrating his re-election. It was a surprise party for him...and as we walked by, the door guard was kind enough to give us a little glimpse into the office. There he was!
Biola takes over the Senate Education Committee!
