Support AASA Nominations for ESSA Rulemaking Committee
The U.S. Department of Education is engaged in the early
stages of the regulatory process related to implementation of the Every Student
Succeeds Act. The first round of regulation and rulemaking will engage current
education practitioners and leaders, and USED is accepting nominations to fill
out their roster. AASA is submitting two nominations to represent the nation’s
public school superintendents and local system administrators in this very
important process. AASA will ask that Dr. Gail Pletnick, Superintendent of
Dysart Unified School District in Arizona and AASA President-Elect, and ASAA Executive Director Dan Domenech serve on the rulemaking body.
Please see the endorsing statements below that will be
submitted to the U.S. Department of Education to support Gail Pletnick and Dan
Domenech’s nominations for the ESSA rulemaking committee and then complete the two short forms to endorse Dan and Gail.
You can read Dan’s qualifications here and Gail’s
qualifications here.
Endorsing Statement for Dan Domenech: I support the nomination of
Daniel A. Domenech to the US Department of Education's negotiated rulemaking
committee, representing local administrators and local boards of
education. Dr. Domenech has a proven track record in education, with a career
spanning more than 40 years, 27 as an administrator. Dr. Domenech is
well-equipped to represent the nation's public schools, whether urban or rural,
small or large. His work experience enables him to relate directly to the
topics under consideration in the committee, including assessment and the use
of Title I funds. It is for these reasons, among others, that I endorse Daniel
Domenech's nomination to the rulemaking committee.
