Due to its location as well as the community it served, Norris received the least funds from state and federal government of any school district in the state of California.

The extreme amount of time that I spent visibly on local school campuses caused me to become known as the most trusted administrator in the district, and allowed me to lead major projects through to completion without opposition from bargaining units.
