Leadership matters: Superintendents' response to COVID-19

Jul 28, 2020·Published by Don E. Lifto

The following reports are intended to supplement Baker Tilly's analysis of the survey conducted with Minnesota school superintendents asking about lessons learned from managing responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey was open from April 30 through May 12, 2020, and was completed by 78 participants, representing a diverse variety of Minnesota school districts.

In the words of one superintendent in the trenches, “It is important for school district leaders to be a source of strength and hope during a crisis for faculty, staff, students and parents. Sharing this belief together, we can accomplish great things.”
