Making the Most out of Your School Board Service: Effective Governance and the Superintendent Evaluation Process

May 27, 2026

• Description

  KSBRC hosted a one-hour webinar on May 27 at 12 pm CDT with Aaron Salt. This webinar is designed to provide a practical, high-level overview for school board members and superintendents who are interested in creating a superintendent evaluation that is student-focused and promotes a culture of accountability, trust, and shared vision for student academic achievement.

  School board members hold a critical responsibility in setting the mission, vision, strategic priorities, and goals that shape a culture of excellence grounded in accountability and trust. Ensuring the district is led by a superintendent who shares the board’s vision and is committed to advancing academic achievement and preparing students for college and careers is essential to long-term success and a strong board-superintendent partnership.

He holds degrees from Auburn University and Florida State University. Salt lives in Colorado with his wife of 15 years and their four children.
