All six Hamilton County superintendents spoke about school leadership and challenges at the Hamilton County Leadership Academy Education Day, held Thursday, Jan. 8 at Noblesville Schools. Class members also learned about school funding and school boards, and they had an opportunity to tour Noblesville High School.

I could be wrong, but I’d bet a box of donuts that these six men combined receive and spend more tax dollars than all other taxing entities also combined (including county government.) Yet all likely have education masters or doctorate degrees. Seems a business “MBA” education and background might be a good fit too, as I understand a huge portion of their time (though not all, of course) is running the “business” of their districts.
Nice picture.
