The District is requesting the Board of Trustees approve the out-of-state conference entitled International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Conference in Chicago, Illinois, on June 24-27, 2018.
The ISTE Conference provides professional development opportunities for anyone who works in education.

This conference covers themes such as School Improvement, Technology Infrastructure, Professional Learning, Digital Age Teaching and Learning, and Virtual Schooling/E-learning. District attendees would be joining approximately 17,000 other educators at the event.
