SUPERINTENDENT CHECK-IN

IASA asked nine superintendents from nine different IASA regions (three in person, three remote, three hybrid) five questions about the return to school. We hope their answers provide insight into what has worked well with reopening plans, what has been harder than expected and what are the silver linings. Also, each superintendent shares how he or she has managed stress during this unprecedented time.
