On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, let me extend a hearty welcome back to the 2010-11 school year. Serving in the leadership roles that we do offers so many opportunities to impact the lives of students and staff members every day. What a privilege and responsibility that is. I hope your year is off to a great start and that it will continue down a positive path.
As KASA continues to move forward with the reorganization efforts started two years ago, I wanted to bring you up to date on where we are and where we are heading. We have developed three areas to develop more fully in the years to come. Those areas include legislative advocacy, leadership, and communication.
We need everyone to participate to make our organization THE VOICE for education in the state.
Please be sure to read the rest of Sharon's message in the next edition of the KASA Perspectives newsletter.
After overwhelming support from the membership, the KASA Board of Directors was restructured to allow for greater representation across the state. On June 1, 2010, KASA seated the newly elected board in accordance with the changes made to the organization's constitution.
The KASA Board of Directors is now comprised of two representatives elected from within ten geographic regions; one administrator representing school districts with fewer than 1,000 students and one administrator representing school districts with 1,000 students or more. One additional position was elected among those districts with 12,000 or more students. Our two AASA Governing Board members and a Education Service Center representative will continue to serve on the board, as well. To view or download the 2010-2011 Board of Directors list, click here.
The KASA Board of Directors has met twice this summer -- in June, at the Summer Conference and again, in August, for their annual Planning Session. The next Board of Directors meeting is scheduled for September 15, 2010 in Topeka.
