HowtoPlanBestforaSuperintendent Transition-TheGood,theBad,andthe UglyofSuperintendentTransitions

A transition of leadership is a critical period for any school district. While research indicates the importance of a well-organized and intentional plan for any leader entering into a new role, there is often a lack of intentionality placed on the leadership transitioning out of an organization. In order to create sustainable organizations, there must be an intentional shift from being people-dependent to system-dependent. This session will explore intentional exit planning to ensure that the incoming Superintendent is provided the institutional knowledge, historic context, and status of the current state of the district, allowing the Superintendent’s first day to focus on implementation and execution.

This session will provide school board members with a checklist of key strategies that should be implemented to best secure their seat- making the run for re-election easy- and tools to use to help secure their agendas, even if they decide not to run for re-election.

This session will offer school board members the opportunity to learn how to apply the skills and competencies they’ve developed as elected leaders to future roles that they may wish to pursue. School board members will create an action plan including specific people to connect with and questions to ask regarding their fit and interest in roles- walking away with information about how to access additional career supports through Leadership for Educational Equity (LEE).
