Educational Service Centers kicked off the New Superintendent Mentoring Program before the DESE Summit

The new superintendents gained valuable insights and inspiration during the launch of the Superintendent Mentoring Program.

🌟 **Dr. Karen Walters** set the tone with a powerful session on *Ethical Leadership, Professionalism, and Navigating the First 90 Days* — helping new leaders focus on integrity, clarity, and confidence.

🤝 **Skipper Ward** and **Dr. Jennifer Barbaree** shared practical tools for *Establishing Strong Board and Community Relations*, emphasizing trust, communication, and connection.

🛡️ **Dr. David Hopkins** led a high-impact session on *School Safety – Setting the Standard Early*, reminding us that safety starts with strong leadership and clear expectations.

We’re off to a great start — and these new leaders are ready to make a difference! 💪
