Editor's Note
A Second Chance to Benefit

Since 2019, we’ve used July to share what we consider our best published work of the previous year for use in a digital-only issue of School Administrator. It’s the one month of the year when we’re not in print, a practice that began with AASA’s conversion from newsletter to magazine back in 1981.

The Best of 2025-26 issue captures what the editors of the magazine consider

worth resharing from the articles and columns appearing between April 2025 and
March 2026, inclusive. Some will look familiar to many readers, but many other offerings
may be first encounters, so consider this a second chance to consume the practical

knowledge and informed opinions of fellow education leaders in our choices.

At 128 pages, this marks the longest “Best of” issue of the seven we’ve produced

annually. That could be a function of our magazine staff members’ unwillingness to
yield on the nominees they felt strongest about — or a reflection of the quality work
that appears across the year in our 11 printed issues. We hope you, our readers, feel

you are beneficiaries of our extended offerings.

This issue also marks the final one to reflect the contributions of Liz Griffin, who

served the association exceedingly well over her 33 years as our magazine’s managing
editor. If you’ve ever contributed to our publication over that time, you’ve probably
dealt during the editorial process with Liz, whose fastidious nature enabled
us to properly dot all “I’s” and cross all “T’s” and ensure everything else was in
proper position before moving each issue on to the printer. She’s deservedly taken
retirement.
