Welcome to The Council's New Superintendent website. The purpose of this site is to provide support to superintendents in their first few years as district leaders. It offers detailed information on a variety of topics from finances to board meetings as well as providing sample forms, evaluations and templates. AVAILABLE RESOURCES A particularly useful aspect of the site is the Superintendents Resource Bank (SRB). This service allows superintendents to solicit advice and ideas from colleagues who have experience on a particular topic. The SRB allows anonymity while also providing valuable insight into tough issues facing superintendents. For questions on the Superintendents Resource Banks, please contact Vren G. Banks, Programs & Resource Development Associate, at 518/449-1063 or email vren@nyscoss.org. Superintendent-in-Residence The Council has a Superintendent-in-Residence available to support you in your transition and development as a school district leader. Having served as a superintendent of schools, the Superintendent-in-Residence is in a unique position to offer firsthand advice and guidance to new superintendents. Our Superintendent-in-Residence, Dr. Robert McClure, collaborates with Council staff to design and implement programs such as the New Superintendents Institute and 2nd & 3rd Year Superintendents Institute and is available to answer questions and concerns you may have on tough issues. Dr. Robert McClure joined The Council in 2007. Bob served as superintendent in the Shenendehowa and Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda school districts. Email Bob. Educorps
