We  will examine what it means to be courageous in a time of continuing demographic changes of the public school population, what it means to offer effective leadership serving the students who attend  our  schools  today,  and  how we garner resilience to resist the temptation to be stagnant. We must continue our transformation toward responsive education that meets the needs of every learner.<br><br>This year’s keynote speakers are Drs. Frances Kendall, Lisa Williams, and Tanya Williams. There will be  highly engaging and interactive sessions that you will not want to miss.
