The purpose of the LCMCSS program is to foster a more widespread understanding of public education in our community through sharing the challenges and successes of CMCSS with business and community leaders. Ultimately the goal is to build a more substantial advocacy base of leaders who can impact positive change in education.
Leadership CMCSS is a tremendous learning opportunity for those who can affect more positive relationships between the community and the district. Our goal is for participants to be better informed about public education as a whole, so they are empowered to share correct knowledge about our school system’s successes and challenges as they interact with other community members.
The seven program sessions expose current and aspiring community and business leaders to various CMCSS departments and instructional areas through seminars, in-school visits, hands-on participation, and group discussions. Selected applicants will explore the interworking of our district. Sessions will focus on strategic direction, planning for growth, exploring principal and teacher roles, the impact of state and federal laws in the classroom, community partnerships, and much more.
Leadership CMCSS is open to all business and community leaders free of charge through generous sponsorships. Leadership CMCSS is NOT open to any employee of the Clarksville-Montgomery County school system.
