Why include a central administrator?

We encourage districts to take advantage of the free central administrator registration. Having central leaders attend alongside building administrators ensures everyone hears the same message and supports consistent application of legal guidance. The central office seat is transferable—meaning different administrators can attend based on topic. For example, your Director of Teaching and Learning might join for the Certificated Evaluation session, while your HR Director attends for Non-Renewals.
