SESSION #2

Integrating School Operations into Your District’s Ecosystem

December 3-4, 2024

PASA Office

2608 Market Place

Harrisburg, PA

 

This session is part of our new Superintendents’ Academy- Phase 2 program, a three-part series focused on effective systems leadership, however participants (superintendents, assistant superintendents and other district leaders) may register for this session as a standalone workshop.

In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, superintendents are challenged not only to lead academically but to drive efficient, sustainable, and cohesive district operations. Every operational component—facilities, construction, transportation, and more—must work seamlessly within the larger district ecosystem to ensure a learning environment that supports educational goals. Our two-day event, Integrating School Operations into Your District’s Ecosystem, is designed to empower superintendents like you with the insights, tools, and strategies needed to transform your district’s operational framework into a well-oiled machine.

Join Us for an opportunity to lead your district into a future where operations support and enhance every educational mission.

Why Attend?

1. Maximize Efficiency, Minimize Disruption Ensuring your district operates smoothly is essential, especially as the demands on school facilities and resources increase. This event will guide you through systematizing school operations, from managing routine functions to handling unexpected challenges, so you can maintain focus on student achievement without operational distractions.

2. Facilities Reviews and Forward-Thinking Planning Conducting thorough facilities reviews and creating strategic, forward-looking plans is vital to your district’s growth and stability. Our session will walk you through proven methods for assessing facility needs, planning for upgrades, and aligning operational improvements with long-term district goals. We’ll focus on practical, actionable approaches that make facility planning accessible, relevant, and impactful.

3. Master Construction Project Management With construction projects becoming increasingly complex, project management skills are a necessity for today’s superintendents. Gain insights from industry experts on managing timelines, budgets, and contractor relationships, ensuring projects remain on track and on budget.

4. Learn from Leading Experts This session will feature an interactive discussion with seasoned experts in school operations, facilities planning, and construction management. Their firsthand experiences and insights will equip you with knowledge you can immediately apply to your district.

5. Create a Cohesive, Resilient District Ecosystem Integrating operations within your district ecosystem doesn’t just improve efficiency—it fosters resilience. When facilities, operations, and construction are aligned with your district’s mission, every function works in harmony to support educational excellence.
