Superintendents’ Symposium

This annual event brings school leaders from around the state together for an invaluable two and a half days of professional learning, networking and advocacy. This is the best time to look at the governor’s budget and for superintendents to get together to review the state-of-the-state and the state-of-the-district. That’s essential, but more than ever before it is time for superintendents to lead a movement to restore California schools to their once held rank of the best in the nation. A focus will be on integrating technology into curriculum and professional development in a digital world.
