David Schuler will speak at three division meetings. |
In four other divisions (Abe Lincoln, Two Rivers, Kaskaskia, Southwestern) IASB Executive Director Roger Eddy will reflect on his 40-year career in public education and offer perspective on the current state of public education in Illinois and how to successfully meet future challenges.
Major topics in school law, including transgender issues, First Amendment, and student discipline, will comprise six other divisions. Other topics include school safety and security, technology, collective bargaining, board/superintendent relations, and evidence-based funding.
Each division dinner meeting also offers peer recognition and networking opportunities for board members and superintendents alike. Attendance earns school board members five points in IASB’s Master Board Member Program.
Brochures detailing agenda, presenters, dates, times, and locations were mailed to districts and are posted with events at the IASB Events Calendar. Registrations must be completed online.
