NASSP Summer Leadership Summit

The National Association of Secondary School Principals hosted a school leadership summit in Louisville, Kentucky, July 12-14, 2022. OASSP Executive Director Will Parker attended along with OASSP President Randy Biggs, Principal of Frederick High School and NASSP State Coordinator Chris LeGrande, Principal of Guthrie High School. In addition to sessions on national principal surveys, presentations on the effects of the pandemic on students, members also heard from states on advocacy and membership efforts. Will Parker and Chris LeGrande presented alongside Jen Silva, NASSP Director of Advocacy, on ways school leaders can engage in advocacy. Mr. LeGrande shared strategies and suggestions for principals who want to engage state and federal elected officials on school visits and promoting better funding for public schools. Please mark your calendars for July 12-15, 2023 as NASSP will host its next national conference in Denver, Colorado. ■

Each year, OASSP & OMLEA elects officers, regional representatives and consultants provide valuable governance, feedback and a state-wide perspective on our associations' legislative goals, professional learning, and collaboration opportunities for 2022-2023. During the June 2022 CCOSA Summer Leadership Conference, OASSP & OMLEA Executive Committees met and approved the members elected to serve in this upcoming school year.
