As the days grow shorter and the back-to-school buzz starts humming, you know summer is winding down. The signs are all there: kids grudgingly trading swimsuits for backpacks, the mad rush for school supplies, and of course, NCSA’s Administrators' Days Conference in Kearney. This year, the NRCSA golf tournament was overflowing with eager participants, but no one could outplay KSB’s own Sara Hento who took home the top prize (with just a little help from Bobby Truhe and a ringer with a name that sounds a little like Ike Mapple….)
Now that everyone is preparing for the new school year in earnest, KSB has opened registration for the 2024-2025 Rookie and Refresher Series. These monthly webinars were originally designed for first-year administrators, but they have been very popular among experienced leaders as well. Each session is short, practical, and to-the-point, encouraging open questions from live participants.
What Is Being Offered for Administrators This Year?
We are offering three separate strands for administrators for 24-25:
Principals - Just like Taylor Swift’s iconic album re-releases, we've taken our greatest hits from previous principal webinars and added fresh, new sessions to create the ultimate lineup for the 24-25 school year.
Special Education Leaders – This year’s focus for special education will be “Perfecting the Paperwork," and is designed to sharpen your skills in documenting the amazing special education services you provide students.
Superintendents/Business Managers – This year, we've combined the roles of superintendents and business managers into one series which is designed to improve the crucial collaboration between these positions for effective school district management.
What’s New This Year?
We’re proud to launch a dedicated series for board members! This new strand will cover essential governance topics and provide board members with the tools they need to lead their schools effectively. Piloted through a successful partnership with ESU 9, this series was developed in response to feedback from superintendents who emphasized the need for short, focused training for board members who may not have the time to travel to state education conferences. Each video in the series is around 10 minutes long, concentrating on critical areas that Nebraska board members need to know about.

What About the Quarterly Webinars?
We will also offer our quarterly webinar series, providing a "deep dive" into education law topics that impact your school district's daily operations. Given the current uncertainties surrounding both Nebraska law and federal regulations, we will not announce the dates and topics for these webinars after Labor Day. Stay tuned!
