Gaining feedback from someone that is in a Superintendent role or an Assoc Superintendent's role has been extremely beneficial. While many take various roads to get to their destination, it allows for a stronger Cabinet when you get there. Our leaders conveyed that communication is key. If stakeholders do not understand what the vision or mission of the district is, it is likely that you will be rowing the boat alone; therefore communicate, communicate, communicate! Through the legislative session this year, I had several conversations with my Area Superintendent and Area Superintendent of Finance. I learned that decisions during difficult times are not always easy however when children are the focus, decisions become clear. Using data is vital to making good decisions, whether it is going through a RIF or preparing for a bond, data will help determine which steps need to be taken.
Our district leaders have one the best processes in place for gathering stakeholder input, which allows them to be valuable to our district and allows for a culture of collaboration and respect.
