The American School District Panel is the first nationally representative standing panel of school district and charter management organization (CMO) leaders in the United States. The panel provides an opportunity for superintendents and CMO leaders to share their perspectives and contribute to decisions about education policy and practice.
Important questions answered quickly.
RAND Corporation and CRPE, two of the organizations behind the American School District panel, regularly run surveys and create in-depth studies of districts and CMOs. They do so in consultation with their advisory committee and their partner Council of Great City Schools.

Superintendents do not plan to leave their positions at heightened rates at the end of the 2021–2022 school year.
