Dr. Cheryl Compton, Superintendent
Ritenour School District
How does CSD services help
in the day-to-day functions of the Ritenour
School District?
CSD provides invaluable
services to Ritenour on a daily basis. Professional
Development services are readily available. Most all of our
principals have attended the Principals' Academy. The
Character Education program supports our teachers and students on a
daily basis. The Insurance Trust helps us continue to provide
top-of-the- line health coverage to our employees. Monthly
Superintendent meetings keep us informed and connected to other
districts. We utilize the cooperative purchasing services as
a means of working more efficiently. Our district has a
Community Relations department, however, my previous district did
not. For any district without a public relations
professional, CSD is there to fill that need. I appreciate the
ongoing support of CSD as we all work together to make a difference
for the students of the Greater St. Louis area.
What feedback do you hear from Ritenour employees regarding
CSD services?
Our employees appreciate the networking opportunities CSD
provides. They also appreciate opportunities to learn and
grow with other professionals across the area. When there are
questions, someone at CSD will help find the answers.
What about CSD have you found to be most beneficial in your
position as
Superintendent of the Ritenour School District?
I have been an educator in the St. Louis area for a number of
years. I can't imagine doing my work without the support of
CSD. In my position as Superintendent, I appreciate knowing
that I have an avenue to access for help or support, no matter what
the issue, problem, or question. I am especially grateful for
the role CSD takes in lobbying for education at the state level.
I believe our voice is much stronger, because we stand
together.
