Description

A new year brings fresh opportunities and new beginnings. There's truly nothing quite like the start of a school year!

Speaking of new beginnings, we're thrilled to introduce "Elevate Your Leadership," a new initiative we're launching this year. Curious about what this entails? Join us on Monday, August 21st, at 3:30 PM for the "Elevate Your Leadership Kick-off" informational event. Here, you'll discover all the essential details and learn how to register.

Let us provide you with a glimpse of what's in store: we're organizing concise learning sessions across every ESD in the state. These sessions will be held at various locations within each ESD, and in some instances, multiple meeting sites will be available. We aim to ensure your in-person attendance is as convenient as possible.

We fully recognize the intricacies and challenges that come with school leadership. This endeavor should be pursued in collaboration. School leaders must come together to engage in discussions, offer support, learn collaboratively, and collectively devise solutions to issues. That is why we hope you will join us in your ESD region.
