NewsInBrief
This is an early notice to be on the lookout for a
Superintendent’s Survey that IASA plans to send out
during the second week of January. The survey is a way
to get feedback from members on the services we offer,
learn more about superintendent demographics in Illinois
and what IASA’s legislative priorities should be. The
survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete.
We created a new resource page on our website called
“Document Hub,” where a number of hard-to-find documents
are all available to download or view in one place. Topics
include ESSA, EBF, Assessments, Teacher Shortage and
Illinois Report Card. Look for the purple icon on the right side
of our home page at . We will continue to update
this page when more important documents become available.
