"In my first year as a superintendent, I find the networking with my former CAS classmates a real benefit of this program. I communicate with them about challenges I have and how I might approach them. The CAS adjunct instructors I had brought practical knowledge and experience to the classes. They knew what to emphasize and focus on in courses. Those resources have been invaluable in addressing day-to-day issues."
John Kinley, Superintendent
South Hamilton Community Schools, Jewell
