Mr. Podesta:

It has been another strong year for The Broad Superintendents Academy, and I'd like to share some of our recent successes with you...

 *   So far, 82% of our 2009 graduates have been hired by urban public school districts.

*         27% of our 2010 participants have already been hired by urban public school districts - four weeks before they've even finished the training program.

 *   80% of Broad Superintendent Academy graduates who served as superintendents for four years improved student achievement faster than other districts in their states.

 *   In Delaware, one of only two states to win coveted Race to the Top<http://www2.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2010/03/03292010.html> funding, Academy graduates lead both the state Department of Education (Secretary of Education Lillian Lowery) and the largest district in the state (Christina School District Superintendent Marcia Lyles).

As you may know, the Academy is the only program in the country that recruits, trains, and supports superintendent candidates with corporate and non-profit executive management experience.  Academy participants attend several extended weekend sessions over a 10-month period while continuing full time work in their current jobs, and then receive placement assistance and extensive support in their new roles.  Tuition and travel costs are covered.

To recommend a colleague or express personal interest, please contact me by August 6, 2010.  The first step in our application process is submission of a professional resume, and the deadline for that is August 13, 2010.
