SUPERINTENDENT CARVALHO TO SPEAK AT
ALAS SUPERINTENDENTS LEADERSHIP ACADEMY (SLA)

Superintendent of Schools Alberto M. Carvalho will deliver remarks tomorrow at the Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents (ALAS) Superintendents Leadership Academy (SLA) in Atlanta, Georgia.  The mission of the ALAS SLA is to improve and expand opportunities for emerging school system leaders by providing coaching, mentoring, and support to acquire the knowledge and skills to assume high level roles, especially in high poverty and minority-serving school systems.

Superintendent Carvalho’ s presentation will focus on topics including the strategic plan and major goals, working with employee groups and  community stakeholders, major district accomplishments, the role of technology, and the ever-changing landscape of education.

ALAS is the largest and fastest growing national organization of educators serving Hispanic/Latino students. Developed in 2003, it was created out of an idea brought forth by a group of Hispanic/Latino administrators and superintendents whose vision and leadership were instrumental in addressing the needs of not only the Hispanic/Latino population, but those educators and administrators serving the needs of Hispanic/Latino students in particular and all students in general.  Superintendent Carvalho currently serves as president of ALAS.
