I value the input of the ILT so that hopefully what we are asking or presenting on is not seen as just the principal asking for one more thing. There are very few things that I would push forward with without the support of our leadership team. I might however continue to building the background of the leadership team in hopes that one day I feel that we are at a point to share with our entire staff.

This is something I need to contemplate, the planning phase, because if I'm not ready will I actually make the situation worse.
