Breakout sessions will last 60 minutes and will occur on our second day of the convention, Saturday, Nov. 15. 

While proposals are welcome from educational organizations and others, school board members and superintendents are given priority in the selection process. 

We encourage you to share your experience and expertise with your peers, even if you don’t consider yourself an expert or have all the solutions. Chances are, your district is tackling some of the same challenges as others!
