The Kansas Association of School Boards is pleased to announce its Leadership for Tomorrow (LFT) Class of 2025.  

Participants are nominated and then chosen through an application process that focuses on individual leadership in Kansas public education and participation in activities that promote effective governance and raise student achievement.   

Leadership for Tomorrow gives board members, superintendents and administrators time to explore change theories and strategies, participate in leadership skill training and expand understanding of education and key issues for effective governance and raising student achievement. Through five two-day sessions, the class will visit local schools, hear classroom presentations and participate in class discussions of issues and challenges facing Kansas education.  

At the end of the program, LFT members walk away with a new set of skills and knowledge that better prepares them for success in the modern education environment.
