New Superintendent Support Programs

We proudly support new superintendents with the New Superintendent Academy and New Superintendent Mentor Program. Together, these programs offer comprehensive and complementary guidance to ensure a seamless and successful transition for first-time superintendents. These programs are FREE of charge to all new superintendents!

New Superintendent Support Programs

  • New Superintendent Academy

    The IAPSS New Superintendent Academy consists of two seminars that provide information and awareness necessary for a new district leader to navigate their role. For the 2025-2026 school year, the seminars will take place on September 11 and October 1 . Please reach out to Kristen Bilkey with questions.

  • Mentor Program

    The IAPSS New Superintendent Mentor Program is a relationship-based one-on-one mentor/mentee partnership grounded in ongoing communication and 27/4 support. Mentors are selected and trained based on the needs of our incoming superintendents. Contact Kristen Bilkey for more information.
