I hope I would have had a little of C.J.’s toughness, commitment, and tenacity had I been faced with a similar situation. Places like Joplin we are going to watch very, very closely. They have a chance to create some model schools for the 21st century.

With unwavering courage and unshakable resolve, C.J. has led the Joplin Schools forward. He has been an inspiration to us all. I’m proud to have worked closely in partnership with C.J., and I’m even more proud to call him my friend.
