Greetings, Klein ISD and welcome to the first 
90-second news video.

2
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,900
For those of you I've not met, my name is 
Bret Champion and I have the distinct pleasure 
of serving as the superintendent for Klein 
ISD.

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,400
Over the last few months, I've been impressed 
by the people I've met.  Klein's a wonderful 
district with an incredibly supportive community.

4
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:33,500
I've developed an Entry Plan that's available 
online and in that plan I set aside the first 
100 days as a listening opportunity so I 
can learn more about this incredible place.

5
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:41,900
In scheduling opportunities to meet with 
different groups, I quickly discovered that 
meeting rooms are at a premium during the 
summer months.

6
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,700
Klein ID teachers, administrators, and staff 
are gearing up for the next school year.

7
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:54,200
That's right! Summer months aren't spent 
relaxing on the lake, shopping, or traveling. 
No, you're more likely to see Klein ISD employees 
at the multipurpose center...

8
00:00:54,300 --> 00:01:02,800
...attending Google for Education Certification 
training, writing science curriculum, or 
mastering new technology tools and learning 
how to incorporate them into their lessons.

9
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:11,900
In fact, as of July 29, our staff attended 
more than 510 sessions and earned more that 
66,000 hours of professional development 
training.

10
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,700
Of course, we hope our staff members take 
time off to rest and maybe even go on a vacation.

11
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:23,400
This downtime is a good thing allowing them 
to relax and recharge for the next school 
year.

12
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:32,600
Each year we start fresh with a new group 
of eager faces and in Klein ISD we work hard 
each day to set our students up for success.

13
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:39,800
Summer professional development allows us 
to reassess, retool, and refocus so we can 
give our all to all our students. They deserve 
it!

14
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:43,500
That's Klein ISD in 90 seconds. I'm Bret 
Champion. See you next time.

00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,000
