As Illinois School Districts strive to comply with the requirements of recent education reforms, IASA has worked to provide support via the Senate Bill 7 Performance Rankings File. This program gives districts a method of managing district positions aligned to local qualifications, teacher's credentials, and performance ratings. The program compiles this local data and creates reports needed to comply with Senate Bill 7. A podcast about the new tool is available by clicking here. An annual licensing fee of $275 for members and $550 for non-members has been set. If you would like to purchase the IASA SB 7 Performance Rating file, please click here.

The Illinois Association of School Administrators (IASA) is closing down its Listserv and working to make the Superintendents’ Workplace more user friendly. The Listserv will be shut down at the end of the month, and the renamed Workplace (formerly called the Social Workplace) will be undergoing some changes in the next several weeks.
“We want to make the Superintendents’ Workplace a place where superintendents can go to have meaningful discussions and work together to solve problems,” said IASA Executive Director Dr. Brent Clark, adding that anyone with suggestions for improving the Workplace can contact Haylee Richardson at

or at 217-753-2213.
The IASA earlier had asked OpenText, the company that designed the Superintendents’ Workplace, to study ways to make the online discussion tool easier to use, especially when it comes to posting and being able to find documents. That report is due back in February according to the company. In the meantime, IASA staff has put together a Frequently Asked Questions document, which can be accessed by clicking here.
