Nominees Announced for 2022 Superintendent of the Year Award
TASB is honored to announce that 20 education leaders from across the state have been named regional superintendents of the year, advancing them in the prestigious annual Superintendent of the Year award competition.
Local school boards that are active members of TASB may nominate their superintendents, and nominees must be a current member of the Texas Association of School Administrators. Candidates are evaluated on their leadership skills, dedication to improving educational quality, ability to build effective employer relations, student performance, and commitment to public involvement in education.
School boards pass a resolution endorsing their superintendent for consideration and send an official application to the regional nominating committee. Each region across the state then selects one nominee to advance to the state competition.
A TASB committee will interview regional winners on August 26-27 and select five finalists. The winner of the SOTY award will then be announced at the txEDCON22 TASA|TASB Convention, scheduled for September 23-25 in San Antonio.
