BACK TO SCHOOL

It’s more important than ever for superintendents to support each other and not face the challenges of the pandemic alone. One way school leaders can help each other is to share successes and obstacles with their peers. 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. Click on the “View Responses” link below each superintendent to see their answers to these five questions: 4. 5. Superintendent Check-In What were the successes of your reopening plan? What is one thing you wish you would have changed? Has there been anything you thought you were prepared for, but it turned out to be harder than expected? Have there been any silver linings? What advice do you have for fellow superintendents on dealing with and managing stress associated with the job right now? 1. 2. 3.
