Dr. Frossard has faced adverse school situations in the past, as principal and superintendent, and knows what it takes to turn around a school district and a community.  He has been able to achieve results due to his “ability to motivate others by embarrassing himself.”  Members of the BISD system and the community need to know him before they can be motivated and believe that we can change. At the present time managing the system is kind of like “herding cats.”  There are different factors and many campuses were used to operating independently.  The District is diverse and has a majority of students who live in poverty.  That doesn’t mean that the community cannot achieve results.  But it does mean that a plan must be put in place.  In all, eight goals have been identified of which the first two are academic achievement and safe schools.
 
The entire community and employees of the District must be willing to restore BISD.  Members of the community and the District perceive the difficulties differently.   We all must be open-minded to others' discomfort and perceptions in order to turn the District around.  Frossard believes in the saying “Dream Big and Work Hard.” 
 
Students of the system need to know how to achieve.  A plan must be made concerning where we are now and where we want (and need) to be. Students should be in an environment where they are given the tools to succeed and know that it is okay to make mistakes.  Mistakes are learning situations.  The system needs accountability and any state tests should be the minimum standards for our schools
 
Dr. Frossard believes that education is a "people business" and the three things that will make education successful here are high academic standards, a safe and orderly learning environment, and community collaboration.  As BISD moves into a new era of success, we may see a reverse Mohawk pep rally from the Superintendent.
