Glen is the superintendent of schools of Smoky Valley USD 400 in Lindsborg.
He has been a physical education instructor, athletic director and served as high school principal for 14 years. Prior to coming to Smoky Valley in 2000, Glen was principal at Hillsboro High School for 8 years.
As a high school principal he was very active in Kansas Association of Secondary School Principals (KASSP). Currently Mr. Suppes is the president-elect of Kansas School Superintendents’ Association (KSSA). In June of this year he will take over as the new president of the association.
You have heard Bill Hagerman say many times that KSSA is the powerful voice for education in Kansas. Over the past few years KSSA has taken many steps to become more involved in legislative activities and weigh in on issues that greatly affect public education. More and more superintendents are stepping up to the plate, serving on committees, contacting legislators, and testifying in Topeka.
The Kansas School Superintendent’s Association is being recognized more and more as that powerful voice. Legislators are contacting association members for direction and support on new bills. As our organization strengthens, we must be prepared to stand strong and take a firm position on matters that affect our districts and our children.
No longer can a school superintendent just stay at home and run his or her district. We have another obligation. We must be involved in the decisions in Topeka that impact our schools. Major changes are occurring and new financial resources are scarce. Our representatives need to know who you are and what you stand for. Building relationships with our legislators is imperative, now more than ever.
We have some real challenges ahead of us, and many times we don’t know for sure what those challenges will be. KSSA pledges to build stronger connections within the organization by improving communication and taking advantage of the internal strengths of individual members. KSSA Talk is one example of connecting our members, as well as non-members.
