Being a new superintendent is hard work! Especially in a new district! Join a panel of seasoned business managers from different states as we compare and contrast the preparation and training of a superintendent who is new to the district and/or new to the superintendency. Our role extends beyond managing finances; we frequently serve as a sounding board for the superintendent. The panel will share experiences and helpful hints to acclimate the new superintendent to your district, ensure a smooth transition, and assist with developing their entry plan. We will share ideas on how to act as a support system and ally. The panel will discuss strategies for presenting the history and background of stakeholder relationships, while also avoiding potential pitfalls and obstacles.
