Dive Brief:

• AASA, The School Superintendents Association, is launching a "Live Well, Lead Well" campaign to provide resources, support and appreciation for superintendents and their staffs as they navigate ongoing challenges around the COVID-19 pandemic, racial inequities and threats of violence.
• The campaign includes monthly opportunities for district leaders to connect with colleagues and focus on self care. The campaign will also include a wellness center at AASA’s 2022 National Conference on Education, scheduled for Feb. 17-19 in Nashville, as well as crisis communication materials and templates that help schools address key issues.

Leaders who aren’t well can’t lead,” said Paul Imhoff, superintendent of Upper Arlington Schools in Ohio and the 2021-22 president of AASA, in a news release. “We need to take care of ourselves so that we are able to serve those in our care. We can't lead if we aren't well. The superintendency is not an individual sport, it is a team sport. We need each other. We need to lock arms and support each other.”
