PARTNER WITH KASS


Kentucky's public school superintendents are among the most consequential decision-makers in the state.

A KASS partnership puts you in the room where they work.

171 districts. One statewide organization. Four convenings a year, leadership development programs, and a weekly email that reaches sitting superintendents at roughly double industry-average open rates.

Superintendents are not a passive conference audience. They are CEO-level leaders accountable for governance, operations, compliance, and long-term student outcomes across their communities. When they attend a KASS event, they are there to understand what is moving in Frankfort, to think alongside peers, and to find partners who can help them do the job better.


That means a KASS partnership is not a booth rental. It is access to a professional community that actively vets who is in the room with them.

KENTUCKY ASSOCIATIONAL OF SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

KASS's leadership development programs serve aspiring and early-career superintendents through structured, high-engagement formats. Sponsorship opportunities within these programs are limited and intentional. Audience composition differs from statewide convenings.

Aspiring Superintendents

A nine-session workshop series for aspiring superintendents. Participants include central office leaders, school administrators, and others preparing for district leadership roles. KLR runs throughout the school year and draws participants from districts across the Commonwealth. Cohort IV is currently open for registration.

School Administrators

A one-day event for school administrators exploring the leap into the superintendency. Step Up combines practical decision-making scenarios, candid perspectives from current and former superintendents and board members, and direct connections to certification pathways through Kentucky Leadership Rising and Kentucky Leadership Next. Space is limited each year.

Experienced School & District Administrators + Industry Leaders

An executive-level experience offered twice per year in a two-day format. Synergy is built around the Multiplier Effect framework and combines one day of cross-sector learning alongside business and industry leaders. The audience includes both experienced superintendents and senior administrators actively preparing for district leadership roles, which is why several partners have found it an effective place to build early relationships with the next generation of decision-makers.

Leaders + Innovators in Education

A video series featuring Kentucky education leaders in conversation about policy, leadership, and the realities of public education. Episodes are publicly livestreamed and archived permanently on the KASS website, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts, which means sponsor visibility compounds over time rather than ending when an event does.

Sponsoring an episode includes logo placement, a linked credit on the archived episode page, and name recognition on all distribution channels. Sponsorship opportunities for KASS Live are currently being finalized. Register your interest below and we will follow up when details are confirmed.

ORGANIZATIONS PARTNERING WITH KASS

These organizations are active KASS partners. Links are tracked so partners can see the referral traffic their placement generates.

WHAT OUR PARTNERS ARE SAYING

Organizations that have partnered with KASS describe the value of being in the room during working sessions, being included in communications that superintendents actually read, and building relationships with district leaders before those leaders need what you offer.
