Lakeside School District administrator named Superintendent of the Year
Dr. Richard Abernathy, executive director for the Arkansas Association of Educational Administrators (AAEA), presented the award to Mrs. Vaught at a special meeting of the Lakeside Board of Trustees on October 25. The award was a surprise to Vaught, who had not been notified previously.
The American Association of School Administrators (AASA) National Superintendent of the Year program, sponsored by ARAMARK Education, ING and AASA, pays tribute to the talent and vision of the men and women who lead the nation's public schools.
Candidates are judged on the following criteria: leadership for learning, communication, professionalism, and community involvement. Each State association of school administrators selects a State Superintendent of the Year.
These superintendents are then in the running for National Superintendent of the Year and will be recognized and honored at the AASA National Conference on Education in February in Denver, Colorado.
