The Superintendent as CEO:
Executive MBA Essentials for District Leaders
Developed with the University of Tampa, Skye's College of Business, and led by Dr. Hemant Rustogi, a Dana Professor Emeritus, this program will condense core Executive MBA coursework into focused faculty modules. Each module is built around a district case, so the frameworks apply directly to the decisions superintendents face: financial leadership, enrollment strategy and negotiation.
