After moving to Cookeville as a pre-teen, Jerry Boyd spent many of his formative years in the Putnam County school system. After exploring several opportunities in education, Boyd returned to the Plateau and was eventually appointed Superintendent of Schools. In this episode, Jerry shares his protocol for determining snow days (and how it feels to have his very own hashtag), his zeal for education, his heart for families, and what drives him to be better every day. Looking at the school system as a business, one could draw a lot of wisdom from this podcast about how to effectively communicate with a large operation, how to grow at a healthy rate, and the importance of considering the needs of all involved before making a decision.
