What we intended to be a discussion of school finance really turned into a fantastic talk about managing the stresses involved with leadership. Dr. Mike Curry, Superintendent of the Abingdon-Avon School District in western Illinois, provides his insight, habits, and advice to support school leaders on a daily basis and during difficult times.

Being a superintendent is like being “...a seal balancing a ball while riding a unicycle on a tightrope over a volcano.” --Mike Curry
