October Superintendent meeting materials


October’s Superintendents’ Meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 2 in the Central Rivers AEA Conference Center. Dr. Clayton Cook will be presenting to the superintendents on Nurturing & Responsive Environments that Promote Social & Emotional Well-Being from 9-11. The business meeting will be conducted after the presentation and lunch will be provided. Dr. Cook will be presenting to district staff in the afternoon from 1-3.

There have been some questions raised regarding registration for the Lead, Inspire, Innovate professional learning series when a speaker is presenting during the superintendents’ meetings. Superintendents do not need to register for the morning session and lunch is provided for the superintendents at no cost. If the keynote speaker is also presenting in the afternoon, members of the district’s administrative team and district staff are encouraged to register for the afternoon session for which there may be a fee.

When there is no afternoon presentation offered, superintendents are welcome to bring their administrative team with them but we ask that you email Lori Thomas (lthomas@centalriversaea.org) the names of those attending. Districts will be invoiced a fee for lunch for the staff attending with the superintendent – the superintendent’s lunch is provided.
