Gary Amoroso, MASA’s executive
director, said he wasn’t surprised that
Law received the honor.
“Within our association, I interact a lot
with him, and David’s focus is always to
be as inclusive as we can. He wants to
make sure all voices are heard,” Amoroso
said. “And that demonstrates a strong
understanding by our members to his
commitment to public schools and the
students he serves.”
With winning, over the next year, Law
will be asked to participate in speaking
engagements around the state that focus
on educational topics. In addition, Law
will be in the running for the National
Superintendent of the Year award, which
will be presented in February by The
School Superintendent’s Association, also
known as AASA.
Supporting

By Superintendent
David Law
As the calendar turns to a
new year and decade, it’s a
time for optimistic view of our
future.
If you’re looking for some
inspiration, consider that
the class of 2033, some
3,000 kindergarten students

students will learn and grow
over time in a school district
that is focused on preparing
students for life.

of teachers, staff members,
parents, guardians, and the
community as a whole. Our
schools cannot afford to

ways; we need to make sure
these students have all they
need for success.
While it may appear that
schools and classrooms

did a century ago, what
is happening inside these
schools is different as
schools are adapting to
the needs of our students.
While school start times have
remained basically the same,
