University of Richmond Launches Monthly Breakfast Series on Leadership for Chesterfield County Public Schools

Top school administrators from Chesterfield County will learn about “Issues in Leadership” during a series of seven breakfast programs hosted by University of Richmond’s Center for Leadership in Education.

Speakers will include: Rod Smolla, dean of the University of Richmond School of Law; Thomas R. Morris, Virginia secretary of education; and Billy K. Cannaday Jr., superintendent of public instruction. Other speakers will come from higher education institutions such as The College of William and Mary and corporate consulting organizations. Topics will include equal protection in a school setting, legislative issues in education, employment law and sexual harassment in the educational workplace, and leadership and stress.

Issues in Leadership is one component of Chesterfield County Public Schools’ leadership and professional development programs for administrators and area-wide leaders.

Now in its third year, “the series has been designed to be reflective and to engage participants in a discussion of the issues,” said Tom Shields, center director.
