Brownstown Central Community School Superintendent Gregory Walker is one of 12 superintendents from across Indiana to complete Butler University’s first Educators Preparing Inspired Change.

The yearlong leadership excellence program is designed to transform the business and constituent-services aspects of their work. It is a joint venture of Butler University’s College of Education and the Lacy School of Business in partnership with the Indiana Association of Public School Superintendents.

The superintendents came to Butler six times in 2017 for sessions in strategy development, budgeting/finance, change management, community/stakeholder outreach, building a high-performance team, and board relations.

“Budget cuts, increased class sizes, and socioeconomic conditions require our public school superintendents operate in an environment of rapid change and uncertainty,” said Dr. J.T. Coopman, the association’s executive director.
