Call for Nominations: 2007 Tech-Savvy Superintendent Awards

Does your superintendent "get it" when it comes to technology? Does he or she demonstrate exemplary vision for the use of technology to improve all facets of education--and show outstanding leadership in working to make this vision a reality?

Nominees must be superintendents of a K-12 school system. Ten national finalists will be chosen by the editors of eSchool News in consultation with last year's winners. The 2007 winners will be honored in a ceremony held at the same time as the American Association of School Administrators annual conference in New Orleans and in the March 2007 issue of eSchool News.
