He, like so many of the district\u2019s Latino male students, was once deemed a likely dropout destined to a life of crime and poverty. But the murder of two of his best friends in high school shook him awake, he said and set him on a path to commit his life to education\u2014his own\u2014and that of thousands of other children like him. Padilla has since woven equity into the fabric of Newburgh\u2019s everyday activities and his decision making. He\u2019s overhauled its budget and administrative staff, placing the muscle in its most destitute and academically challenged schools. And he\u2019s started the arduous task of redistributing teachers so that its most talented educators are placed in front of the students who are struggling most.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>LESSONS FROM THE LEADER<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <b>Be Courageous<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Always ask: \u2018Why should anyone be led by you\u2019?
