How many of us are still committed to making 2024 a year that matters? I was reading a Forbes December article that surveyed Americans and found some interesting statistics. I was surprised to find about 37% (a little over a third) of Americans set a New Year’s resolution. I was also surprised to find those with children in the home are more likely (54%) to set a New Year’s resolution than those without children (33%). With having four children at home, I feel this drive to teach my children the importance of setting goals, writing them down, and tracking them for their own growth. As a school superintendent, I feel an even stronger urge to set and track our district’s goals each year.
