MASA members have been offered a 15% discount on a new publication targeting school leaders. The School Superintendent’s Idea Notebook is a monthly newsletter that reports on ideas and strategies that superintendents throughout the country are implementing in their districts. The no-frills newsletter claims to feature the “best of the best” of these practical and innovative ideas.

Publisher Henry Quinlan says the newsletter presents an opportunity for superintendents to learn from each other. “Who better knows the challenges you face every day? Only another superintendent knows the pressures and opportunities that you have. It makes sense to turn to other superintendents for ideas,” Quinlan says.

The introductory issue reports on a wide range of ideas, from “data rooms” that foster student improvement in a Kentucky school district, to the Baltimore Schools’ massive reorganization plan to close failing schools and expand successful ones. Time and cost saving initiatives are also featured, such as Ohio’s Berea School District’s switch to the web-based PublicSchoolWORKS.com for training on health, safety and compliance issues.
