Welcome to The Superintendent Effect — where we hear stories of strong leaders building strong communities.
Each week, tune in to hear from school superintendents around the country as they work to support the various needs in their community.
Dr. Brad Keating, Associate Superintendent for Community Partnerships and Government Relations at Clark County School District (nearly 300,000 students), joins Anne Brown on The Superintendent Effect.
From Capitol Hill to the classroom and now district leadership, Dr. Keating shares how CCSD creates a “small-town feel” in a massive district through innovative parent engagement, staff wellness initiatives, and genuine community partnerships.
Highlights include:
• The emotional Ceremony of Achievement that honors parents completing 50+ hours of training
• The Night of Excellence celebrating educators and support staff
• The fun yet meaningful Monster Dash 5K focused on mental health
• Why surveying employees quarterly and carving out time for family (like coaching his son’s soccer team) matters
A hopeful, practical conversation about what strong leadership and authentic connection look like in public education today.
