Message from the Executive Committee of the Heartland Board of Directors

TO: Heartland AEA Superintendents
FROM: Executive Committee, Heartland Board of Directors

September is here, and school is in full swing. It seems the perfect time to thank you for your efforts on behalf of your students and your communities. The Heartland board and staff are honored to be in partnership with you.


In this time of transition, please be assured the Heartland board remains firm in its focus and the expectations made explicit in its published goals. At its retreat in late September, the Board will complete its annual performance evaluation and continue implementation of the search process for a new chief administrator.


Your input regarding desired characteristics of a new agency leader is essential to that process. The Heartland Superintendents Advisory Council will represent you as the superintendents’ focus group and will be interviewed on October 6. If you’re not on the Council, we hope you’ll contact a member before that date to share your priorities.

All of us at Heartland AEA are here to serve you and your schools. Choosing the right leader for the Agency will help us make the partnerships with you even stronger and bring all of us who care about teaching and learning closer to our shared goal: significant gains in student achievement.
