Corrected: An earlier version of this brief gave the wrong current positions for Kevin Maxwell and Michele Taylor.

AASA, the School Superintendents Association, last week announced the finalists for the 2014 National Superintendent of the Year.

The finalists are Alberto Carvalho, the superintendent of the Miami-Dade County district in Florida; Terry Grier, the superintendent in Houston; Kevin Maxwell, who was selected for his leadership of the Anne Arundel County school system in Maryland, and is currently the schools chief in Prince George’s County, Md.; and Michele Taylor, the superintendent in Calhoun, Ga. The national winner will be announced at AASA’s annual conference next month.

Miami-Dade won the Broad Prize for Urban Education in 2012, and Houston won that award last year.

Fifth-grader Willow Miller raises the U.S. and Nevada flags in a daily flag-raising ceremony to start the school day in Good Springs, Nev., on March 30, 2022. Teacher Abbey Crouse assists at right. The school, along with an elementary, middle and high school in neighboring Sandy Valley, are the only schools in the mostly urban Clark County School District to meet just four days a week.
A student raises the U.S. and Nevada flags to start the school day on March 30, 2022, in Goodsprings, Nev., where the elementary school meets four days week. A growing number of schools have turned to four-day weeks over the past two decades, sometimes for budget reasons, other times for teacher recruitment and retention. But the payoff isn't always clear-cut.
