The new commish
11Sep09
Congrats to Dr. Tom Kimbrell, executive director of the Arkansas Association of Educational Administrators (AAEA), on being recommended by Governor Mike Beebe as Arkansas’s new education commissioner. It’s an exciting time to be in education policy, especially in Arkansas. I look forward to working with Dr. Kimbrell in his new capacity and helping move Arkansas from adequacy to excellence.

Below is a picture I took of a painting by students at J.A. Fair Magnet High School, which hangs in the lobby of the AAEA’s new offices. As I can recall, the painting depicts a handful of the trillions of synapses that the brain forms while learning, superimposed over the number of minutes that most students spend in school until graduation.
