Dighton-Rehoboth Superintendent to Speak at Conference

Dighton Rehoboth Regional School District Superintendent Bill Runey has been chosen to speak at the National Superintendents Forum in Baltimore, Maryland on October 21.

“It is an honor to be asked to present on the national stage,” Runey said. “This is a reflection of the great work that is being accomplished in our #WeAreDR community. I am grateful to all stakeholders who are joining the renaissance in our district.”

Runey’s presentation, “Blueprint for Brilliance: Strategic Planning with a Crucial Progression from PK to 12”, is designed for school superintendents committed to fostering student success.

The presentation will guide attendees through the strategic planning process, emphasizing the development and integration of a Portrait/Vision of a Graduate across all grade levels.

These sessions are crafted to address timely and pertinent issues prevalent in the ever-evolving landscape of the K-12 industry, with a keen focus on the unique challenges faced by Superintendents.

Runey was invited to speak about his work in creating the new district strategic plan, DRiving Toward 2030, and the accompanying Portrait of a Graduate document. According to the K12Superintendents.com website: “The October National Superintendents Forum stands as an esteemed assembly, bringing together
Superintendents from K-12 Public School Districts nationwide.”

A wide variety of districts, including both rural and urban landscapes, will converge, each dealing with its distinct set of challenges. District sizes will vary significantly, spanning from 1,500 to over 100,000 students. This years’ program theme is “K-12 Renaissance: Enhancing Student Outcomes through Superintendent Leadership and Reshaping the Perception of Public Education.”
