Principal Leadership

The Principal Leadership Network is designed to provide a regional forum for CESA 11 district principals as they work collaboratively in addressing roles and responsibilities critical to student success within their districts. A few topics that will be highlighted this year include: effective leadership teams, behavior systems, AI & technology efficiencies for educators, timely legal topics, and success stories from area districts.
