Superintendents set the stage for how values and vision drive district culture, making them key players in educator recruitment. To explore the superintendent’s role in educator recruitment and retention, we asked AASA’s 2023 National Superintendent of the Year® and leader of the No. 1 ranked district for "best places to teach" and "best teachers" in the Rochester, NY area what’s made his district so successful in attracting – and keeping – educators.
Dr. Kevin McGowan has been the Superintendent of the Brighton Central School District since 2009, is the President of the New York State Council of School Superintendents, and Past President of the Leadership for Educational Achievement Foundation (LEAF).
