- 26 years ago I left HS at the bottom of my class. Today, I get to lead a district on the rise and last night the school board extended my contract. None of this would be possible had it not been for my senior English teacher pushing me to win a $1000 scholarship for college. 1/2
- I am so honored to join this outstanding community with an exciting future. Can’t wait to meet the students, teachers, and families as we begin the work. #taylormadeThe Taylor ISD School Board is pleased to announce that Dr. Devin C. Padavil is the Lone Finalist for Superintendent. The board will vote at a special called meeting on February 1, 2021 to officially name the new superintendent of Taylor schools. 4.files.edl.io/70a1/01/09/21/…
- Wearing a mask seems considerate to others. It says I care about the health of those around me and those I come home to. You can breathe just fine. It’s just a little muggy. No different than walking around Houston.
- When former students become teachers for their old principal now that he is superintendent. ✌🏾💚🦆
- Layla called me over from across the cafeteria to tell me she liked the way I look. After careful consideration, I am proud to announce the superintendent’s favorite student of the week: Layla! 🏆
- Students may not remember specific lessons/programs, but will remember educators that truly saw them and treated them like they matter. In-person or virtual, those connections with colleagues/students will be the most important goals of this year.
- Blessed beyond measure.The #GISDBoard named Dr. Devin Padavil as the Lone Finalist for GISD Superintendent. You can find the full announcement on our website at georgetownisd.org.
- Kids thrive on routine and consistency. This year, many kids experienced disruptions to basic needs of food, financial security, shelter, and social connection. It is time to extend hold harmless funding & cancel/rethink staar.
- So when a student has her goat on the loose, the Superintendent springs into action. 🦆>🐐
- Replying to @DevinPadavilIn gratitude, I will offer scholarships from my salary of $1000 and $500 to 2 seniors that go into teaching or another field of service. Details to come. I love you, Taylor. 2/2
- Ran into a lot of people the last week and said “reach out if I can ever help you.” I mean it. Whether we are acquaintances, colleagues, or I was your old principal. There is purpose in helping others succeed. An abundance mentality means there is enough success for all of us.
- As educators, the greatest thing we can do to teach compassion, courage, and vision for the future is fiercely model and expect it.
