CoSPRA April 30 Spring meeting to feature NSPRA Power Hour on Tough Times
John Draper, CEO of the Educational Research Service will present "Answering the Critics to School Administration"
Thanks to the support of NSPRA, CoSPRA has the opportunity to participate in a special Power Hour devoted to helping school communications professionals through these tough times. CoSPRA members attending the chapter's April 30 spring meeting/conference and lunch will participate in a Webinar/Teleconference with fellow NSPRA members and John Draper, CEO of the Educational Research Service. Draper will present "Answering the Critics to School Administration." Too often, the public perception of school administration is that it is an over-large bureaucracy diverting critical resources from instruction. But the facts are in our favor. You will learn from Draper a number of myth-busting facts to use in your budget sessions.
You'll learn how to counter these six common misperceptions about school administrations:
1. There are too many administrators. 2. School administrators are paid too much. 3. Increasing amounts of school budgets are going to administration. 4. A lot of money that goes to administration could be better spent for other purposes. 5. The number of school administrators is growing rapidly and at the expense of instruction. 6. Administration is an unnecessary burden and should be cut out.
When: Thursday, April 30, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. Where: Adams 12 Five Star Schools ESC, 1500 E. 128th Ave. in Thornton Who: ALL CoSPRA Members What: CoSPRA Spring meeting/conference and lunch Cost: $0

Since we are only allowed one phone line into the NSPRA Power Hour, we won't be able to offer members the opportunity to teleconference in. All the more reason to get out of the office! I will begin asking for RSVPs in April, but mark your calendars now. I look forward to seeing everyone.
