Session 1: Current Trends in Head of School Compensation/Contracts/Evaluation and Best Practices Now 
with John Littleford of Littleford & Associates

March 1st 2:30-4:00pm CST / 3:30-5:00pm EST

Session Description: Many Heads are under more pressure and feeling more vulnerable  than ever before. Parents, boards, faculty and staff and the larger community are taking aim at the leadership of independent schools focusing on issues such as the COVID protocols, the BLM movement, rigor vs. well-roundedness for students, the value added proposition, and overall wellness.

In the current environment, boards are seeking fair, viable and market-driven ways to compensate and evaluate heads of school in a way that makes them feel valued and rewarded but also stays within school resources and meets the "optics" test in the public domain.

What are best practices now for head compensation, including the "buckets" to use, the contract language to avoid and the best evaluation process to employ? These combined make the job of head of school worth the risks in the long run (or not).

Audience: Heads, Board Chairs, CFOs/Business Managers, HR

Presenter: John Littleford of Littleford &Associates
