Not everyone views a good report the same. The things that bring you joy might not bring me joy at all. For instance, you might tell me you received a promotion at work, or that you are expecting a child, and although I might be very excited for you, I am surely not going to experience the same joy you might be. Your good news just doesn’t affect me the same way, simply because it’s not my good news. In fact, what might be good news to you might actually be terrible news to me. But what if there was a report that not onl...

Norman L. Sullivan was a legend in education circles – hence the reason Bonsall Union School District’s middle school carries his name. Sullivan, who passed away Nov. 26 at the age of 86, had the distinction of being the longest serving school superintendent (32 years) in San Diego County history. But in the Bonsall and Fallbrook community, he was more than that. He was a man who was greatly admired for many reasons. At the memorial service held in Sullivan’s honor on...
