Indianapolis – Gerald Mohr, Executive Director of the Indiana Association of School Principals in Indianapolis, recently joined elementary and middle-level educators and leaders from across the country in the nation’s capital during the National Association of Elementary School Principals’ Federal Relations Conference to advocate for new policies that will give principals, who are the primary catalysts for shaping long-term school improvement, the tools they need to function as effective school leaders.

Mohr took the critical needs of Indiana schools directly to lawmakers on Capitol Hill during meetings with legislators to discuss two legislative recommendations for the upcoming reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act: investing in early childhood development and high-quality principal mentoring programs.

Mohr called on Congress to provide new policies that strengthen professional development for principals and include standards for comprehensive early childhood programs as well as new policies that support high-quality leadership mentoring programs that sufficiently instill standards of performance in the principalship.

“Our schools provide the skills and content knowledge students need to succeed in life,” Mohr said. “Principals call on Congress to ensure that all principals have the appropriate resources and support to ensure that the schools they lead are effective learning portals for 21st century opportunity.”

Located in Indianapolis, The Indiana Association of School Principals (IASP) leads in the advocacy and support of all principals in their commitment to every child and represents more than 2,000 Indiana principals. For more information about our association, please visit our Web site at www.iasp.org.

Established in 1921, the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) serves more than 25,000 elementary and middle school principals in the United States, Canada, and overseas. NAESP leads in the advocacy and support for elementary and middle-level principals and other education leaders in their commitment to all children.
