School administrators are passionate, lifelong learners who believe in the value of quality public education. Providing quality service for student success is paramount for the profession; and WHEREAS, the title “school administrator” is a broad term used to define many education leadership posts. Superintendents, assistant superintendents, principals, assistant principals, special education and adult education leaders, curriculum and assessment leaders, school business officials, classified educational leaders and other school district employees are considered administrators; and WHEREAS, most school administrators began their careers as teachers. The average administrator has served in public education for more than a decade. Most of California’s superintendents have served in education for more than 20 years. Such experience is beneficial in their work to effectively and efficiently lead public education and improve student achievement; and WHEREAS, public schools operate with lean management systems. Across the nation, public schools employ fewer managers and supervisors than most public and private sector industries including transportation, food service, manufacturing, utilities, construction, publishing and public administration; and WHEREAS, school leaders depend on a network of support from school communities – fellow administrators, teachers, parents, students, businesses, community members, board trustees, colleges and universities, community and faith-based organizations, elected officials and district and county staff and resources – to promote ongoing student achievement and school success; and WHEREAS, research shows great schools are led by great principals, and great districts are led by great superintendents. These site leaders are supported by extensive administrative networks throughout the state.The future of California’s public education system depends upon the quality of its leadership; now therefore BE IT RESOLVED, by the San Juan Unified School District Board of Education, that it recognizes the week of October 8 – 14, 2023, as the Week of the School Administrator in honor of the many outstanding contributions and services provided by school administrators in the San Juan Unified School District; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the district commends San Juan Unified School District administrators for their support of and their contributions to quality education for students.
