ACSA President Rafael Plascencia shared a heartbreaking story of losing his brother to suicide, reminding superintendents that behind every title, we are human first. His call to action: prioritize mental health in leadership. A standing ovation honored his courage. #acsa

“The hardest work is inward.” Dr. Shawn Ginwright at ACSA’s Supt Symposium challenged us to shift from lens work to mirror work: What am I afraid of? Who do I need to become? True leadership moves from problem to possibility & from hustle to flow.

Day 2 of Supts Symposium has kicked off with keynote speaker Dr. Tyrone Howard, who shares the five essential qualities of successful school leaders. Communication & team building are the first two!

A stunning room with floor-to-ceiling windows and breathtaking 360-degree views of Monterey Bay—an inspiring setting for the ACSA luncheon celebrating women superintendents. These incredible leaders deserve nothing less!

Happening right now: a powerful conversation with courageous panel members who are sharing their definition of leadership, politics, serving all kids, and working with a board that may have different ideas about how to serve students.
