Our Cohort 5 has completed class #1 at LU online superintendent certification program. We are rolling on our practicum/intern plans. Monday, February 27 th, we start our second class, EDLD 5371, The School Superintendent. I've been researching information regarding my school district's board members and meeting local policies and comparing it to the legal policies. My district has both linked on our website, []. Check out quick links on the right hand side.Garland Independent School District has a great website and links to all our schools and departments and state agencies, etc. I have enjoyed seeing the links to what we do as a district and why and where it came from. Have I said before, "I love learning". Well, I love learning and am a life long learner. Brenda 2-25-12 Our Cohort 5 completed course # 2 EDLD 5371 on April 1, 2012 and have begun #3 EDLD 5342 School Finance on April 9th.
