Dr. John Asplund, superintendent for Farmington Central School District, in Farmington, Ill., speaks with a staff member in the school library on Wednesday, Jan 6, 2016.
"I view myself as the lead teacher here in the district. I need to do the best job I can to make sure that the administrators are growing and learning every day and stretching themselves and then encouraging them to do that for their teachers so that they in turn do that for the students," Asplund said.
