In December of 2007, the Forum and the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) co-hosted a three-day forum for state superintendents to discuss collaboration on extended learning opportunities, among other topics. Attached is the presentation given by Marc Levy, President of United Way of Greater Dayton at the forum. The resulting white paper -- Leadership for Change: National Superintendent of the Year Forum 2007 -- is attached below.

In continuation of our work with the superintendents, Forum Managing Director Merita Irby is presenting at AASA's annual conference to be held this year in Tampa, Florida. The conference is the largest meeting of school superintendents in the United States. Merita will present a workshop entitled "Ensuring All Young People are Ready by 21: The Essential Role of School/Community Partnerships" on February 16.
