We recently had the privilege of hearing Dr. Escalante, the Glendale’s School Superintendent, address the Glendale Board of Realtors. This is one administrator with a vision! Dr. Escalante is a dynamic and engaging communicator, who kept his audience spellbound. He described in clear, understandable terms, both verbally and in an accompanying Powerpoint presentation, what Glendale schools have been accomplishing in terms of academic improvement and awards for excellence. He also explained clearly the financial challenges facing our schools. Besides being a great communicator, Dr. Escalante is a tough and demanding leader. He is passionate about continuing improvements. He demands excellence from teachers, and he is aggressive in reducing administrative overhead costs. He is clearly determined to bring out the best in Glendale’s schools. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Attention all parents!
