  • Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators (OAESA) - Quality education systems are essential in healthy, vibrant communities, and these systems rely on passionate, effective, and informed leadership. Yet across Ohio, many administrators face challenges: isolation, ill-informed policy, insufficient resources, time constraints, and a barrage of best practices. It can make the job feel overwhelming. The Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators exists to meet these challenges. We connect and support pre-K – 8 administrators throughout their careers. We believe that every school deserves an effective, informed, and caring administrator to lead and support it. OAESA is here for administrators, so they can be there for their students, faculty, and communities.
