With the upcoming retirement of Superintendent Mary Kay Going, Ed.D., Moreland is partnering with Leadership Associates to find Moreland's next Superintendent.

Last Tuesday was an online community forum with a Leadership Associates representative to hear community feedback to the question, "What qualities and characteristics would you like to see in Moreland's next Superintendent?" If you didn't have the chance to join us, an online survey is now available here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SZPJGSR. If you would like to keep updated on the process, you can follow along on our website here.

The following mental health article is for your next newsletter. (We must run this twice during each year. You already put this in a newsletter at the beginning of the year.) This information must also be on your school website. This is a requirement of Education Code section 49428.
