3 Essentials of District Administrator Best Practice

1- A collaboratively created district vision, involving the key stakeholders, should be developed. This vision should address, short, medium and long term planning for the district. Student achievement, student enrollment, and financial planning should all be addressed.

2- The district should establish clear and high expectations for student learning/achievement and resources should be allocated to support this vision. An emphasis should be placed on attracting and retaining the best administrators and teachers to ensure high quality instruction. Staff development opportunities must directly correlate to the high expectations of student success and achievement.

3- A model of governance should be in place with the school board. As new members enter the board, a training session should take place on proper board procedures and etiquette. The development of a good working relationship with all board members and especially the board president should be constantly cultivated.
