"[Terry Grier] led San Diego’s district for 18 months. The district’s
scores on the California achievement test hit record highs during his brief
stint. But he wrangled with the unions over issues like rightsizing the
teaching staff for a smaller enrollment. “They went bonzos and have never
forgiven me,” Grier says.
"He recalls the scene when a union leader publicly berated staff members and
several trustees: “My wife was beside herself by the time I got home,”
says Grier. “She had watched the meeting and gotten on the website of the
Houston district, which had expressed interest in me through a headhunter.
She convinced me to talk to them, so I followed up the next morning. I was
on the plane that afternoon.”
"Notably, five years later, the U-T San Diego newspaper lamented his
departure, wondering what might have been if he had not left.
"Grier has maintained his passion for improving schools throughout. “I’ve
learned through hard knocks,” Grier tells me as he downs a plate of fish
tacos over lunch. “I’ve learned through my career that perseverance is a
big part of leadership.”
"Grier’s focus in Houston, San Diego, and other districts has been on such
goals as improving classroom instruction, aiming initiatives at likely
dropouts, and getting more minority students to take Advanced Placement (AP)
exams." | O***n
