Dear Superintendents,

It is my pleasure to represent you on the ACSA Superintendency Council this school year. As you know, this year will be an exceptionally exciting political year and there is likely to be much to report. It is my goal to have minutes or a summary of each meeting shortly thereafter each meeting occurs. Below are the goals of the Superintendency Council:

• To identify and study issues related to the role and responsibilities of superintendents and proactively advocate for solutions.
• To strengthen a network for communication among superintendents.
• To be proactive in representing the viewpoints and vision of superintendents on critical education issues with a view toward influencing policy and proactive at the local, state, and national levels.
• To plan strategies and practices witch will influence the quality of education for all California students.
• To represent superintendents in ACSA’s relations with the Governor’s office, Legislature, and State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
• To plan and coordinate professional development activities for superintendents and activities to enhance professional development of administrators and all school district positions.
• To encourage the active participation of superintendents and all other management team members in ACSA.
• To maintain a liaison relationship with AASA and other state organizations and agencies.
