SUPERINTENDENT SPOTLIGHT

Texas classrooms haven’t been spared from the push and pull of Texas politics. From which books students can access in schools to the fight over critical race theory to new policies stemming from the pandemic, leaders in public education have felt the heat over the last few years.


How are superintendents faring through it all?

Event Details

Join us to hear from three current and former North Texas superintendents at our Superintendent Spotlight event, hosted by The Texas Tribune at 8 a.m. Thursday, March 24, at the Mabel Peters Caruth Center at Communities Foundation of Texas in Dallas. 


Attend in person or tune in virtually to learn why so many superintendents are exiting their jobs, how once-nonpartisan school boards became so political and what it’s like battling pandemic challenges alongside the 5.4 million students enrolled in Texas public schools. 

This in-person event will be simultaneously streamed for virtual attendees and will be available to watch on demand afterward at texastribune.org/events.


Parking for in-person attendees is available at both the front and rear of the Center. Coffee and light breakfast refreshments will be served.

The Texas Tribune thanks its sponsors. Become one.
