Superintendent: May HAA Minutes and Links

Click here to download the minutes from the May HAA meeting. Below is also a note from Sharon Kurns on some closing remarks as the HAA meetings sunset for this calendar year.

Request for your input
Earlier this week, we sent out an end of the year summary survey for the HAA meetings this year. We would like for you to complete it even if you didn't attend May’s meeting or don't regularly attend. We are always trying to improve the quality of meetings and rely heavily on your input to help us plan agendas that will be helpful for local superintendents. Below is a revised link. If you prefer, you can find a form here which can then be printed and sent to me via the van mail.

Link to Center for American Progress
During the professional learning portion of Tuesday’s meeting, Roger Scott shared a website from the Center for American Progress which provides a district-by-district evaluation of educational productivity. They have attempted to calculate the Return on Investment (ROI) for each school district in the country by developing ways to compare spending and academic achievement. Many superintendents were interested in locating their own district on this site. The URL is below. Let me know if you have questions.

Finally, all the materials and resources that were used throughout the year for our professional learning are stored on a Google site. The URL is below. If there is anything that you are looking for and can't find, just let me know
