Retirement

8/1/2018

It is hard to believe that as of August 1st, 2018 I am  officially “retired” from my career as a public educator.  

The old saying “time flies” has come to fruition for me.  It is really hard to believe that over the past 31 years, I have been a teacher, coach, athletic trainer, assistant principal, high school principal, and superintendent in seven different school districts in Texas, ranging from 1A Chireno with a little over 300 students and about 30 employees, to 5A Granbury with over 7,000 students and 1,000 employees.  I can honestly say I have enjoyed every stop I have made and look forward to the future.

So, what does a “retired” superintendent do in retirement?  I have told several people that retirement for me is really just a different chapter in my life.  I certainly plan to slow down a little, enjoy life and my family more, and look for ways to connect with old friends and colleagues that I haven’t seen in years.  But, I don’t think retirement means doing nothing and spending every day on the golf course, even though I do plan to do my share of that, too…
Most of you who have followed me over the years know that I enjoy writing and I plan to use this blog to continue sending out my observations, frustrations, and commentary on a variety of topics.  I am also planning to venture into the world of podcasting, so those of you who enjoy that sort of thing should check out my podcast at
http://largentconsulting.org/podcast.html​.  I plan to provide commentary on schools, politics, and life in general, and I think I can round up some really interesting guests to visit with.  Stay tuned.

I have several other ideas that I will be rolling out over the course of the next several months under the banner of Largent Consulting LLC, a firm I established recently.  I plan to do some mentor work with new superintendents, work with some high quality vendors that I believe in and want to work with, and I hope to do some speaking and advocacy work for pro-education groups.  In addition, I hope to regularly contribute to this blog and start a podcast.


My only criteria I set for myself in retirement were:
  1. Work on my own schedule and without punching a clock.
  2. Work for myself and not supervise anybody.

So far, I am off to a good start!  I hope to stay connected to all of you through this blog and let you know how this journey progresses...
