Education is a field that never stands still. District leaders are constantly navigating new challenges, shifting priorities, emerging issues, and changing expectations – often while making important decisions in real time. Staying informed and being nimble is essential. That’s where MASA’s Take 5 comes in. This quick-hit video series connects superintendents and district leaders with the people who know the issues best, providing timely context, and need-to-know information in about five minutes – so they can better understand what’s happening, what it means for school districts, and what may come next.
MASA Executive Director Dr. Tina Kerr knows how valuable time can be for school leaders.

Take 5 is about making important information easier to access, so district leaders can stay informed without adding another lengthy meeting or document to their to-do list. These are real conversations designed to provide practical insights and help us build stronger schools together.
New Take 5 videos will be shared regularly with MASA members.
