Dear Mr. Gray:

Upon learning of your opening for the position of Superintendent of Schools, I felt compelled to submit my resume for your consideration. As an accomplished, visionary leader in the academic sector with 22 years of operational, planning, administration and financial management experience with Maritosh Public Schools, I am well prepared to significantly contribute to your goals and objectives.

My expertise lies in overseeing areas such as staff recruitment and training, financial and budget administration, community partnership building, and policy implementation to realize increased productivity and improved academic performance while containing costs. From conceptualizing and establishing forward-thinking development plans to collaborating with teachers and administrators to achieve consensus across multiple levels, I excel at directing strategic enhancements to drive goal achievement while communicating openly and collaboratively with teachers, staff, parents, and principals.

Highlights of my experience include the following:

Advancing through an accomplished tenure of administrative and instructional leadership within the Maritosh School System, culminating in my most recent role as Assistant Superintendent in which I spearheaded human resources functions, fiscal management, strategic planning, and team leadership while serving on the executive cabinet.

Co-supervising all academic programs, facilities, maintenance, and transportation across the district in compliance with state and federal regulations and guidelines.

Advocating before the Connecticut State Legislature to acquire $2.3M in additional capital; successfully championing and realizing the passing of four local bonds and levies to secure funding for new school buildings, additions, and safety systems.

Maintaining a steadfast dedication to encouraging staff professional development; providing diversity-wide training opportunities and instituting a policy to require all Title-funded schools to allocate 12 percent of school funds to support staff development activities.

Demonstrating outstanding communication, time management, and organizational abilities while leveraging my highly collaborative and personable demeanor to secure community partnerships and achieve consensus across multiple organizational levels.

My skills in academic operational oversight and directional leadership have been finely honed, and I am confident my additional strengths will readily translate to this position. The chance to offer more insight into my qualifications would be most welcome. Thank you for your consideration; I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Cecilia A. Parker
