Missouri school districts are looking for best practices and programs they can put in place! Public school leaders, Board Members, Superintendents, and Supportive Administrative Roles, are responsible for meeting the educational needs of all public school children. This responsibility includes advocating for sound education policy at the local, state, and federal levels of government. MSBA is calling for presentations that teach tangible ways to utilize tools, procedures, programs and best practices to effectively fulfill these responsibilities.

Concurrent sessions run 60 minutes and will take place between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm on Friday, October 18th and Saturday, October 19th.
