Leaders Learn | The Strategic Partnership: Superintendents & School PR in Action

When:  May 7, 2026

In this Leaders Learn conversation, we’ll hear directly from a superintendent–communications team about how they work together to lead their district with clarity, consistency, and trust. Together, they’ll share how their partnership has evolved, how they navigate complex decisions, and what it takes to align messaging, leadership, and community expectations. This no-slides, facilitated discussion will offer both perspectives: what superintendents need from their communications leaders, and how communicators can elevate their role as trusted partners in district leadership. Join us for a candid, practical conversation designed to help you strengthen your own leadership relationships and impact.

Moderator: Barbara Hunter, APR, NSPRA Executive Director

Panelists:

Tanya de la Cruz, Public Information & Engagement Officer, Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District (Calif.)
