Summary: Heritage High School teachers Renee Garcia, Emma Bennett, Samantha Avne, and Amanda Bates along with the Athletic Director, Scott Moore are requesting approval to attend the California Association of Directors of Activities (CADA) State Convention in Reno, March 4-7, 2020.

The California Association of Directors of Activities began when a few student council advisors got together to share common problems and solutions. Since that weekend in 1957, CADA has grown into the largest statewide support network for Activity Directors in the nation.

The CADA holds an annual conference providing workshops and presentations targeting teachers who work with middle school and high school leadership students. The conference attracts participants from all over the United States, wanting answers to questions like “How do I design activities promoting a safe learning environment?”; “What about activities supporting academic, social and personal development in accordance with federal guidelines?”; “Can we capture the hearts of our students so they will look forward to attending school and as a result lower the drop-out-rate?” The answers to these questions and much more are found at the CADA Conference.

The CADA convention will be providing empowering, passionate, inspiring and committed leadership philosophies that will begin, enhance, and complete the CADA program. The CADA will focus on several aspects of our schools which include improving the culture and climate by infusing leadership philosophies that are aligned with Common Core Standards. The curriculum is designed to include school’s entire educational team.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2019-20 operating budget funded through Heritage High School's Associated Student Body Account, not the General Fund.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the out-of-state conference request for four Heritage High School teachers and one administrator to attend the California Association of Directors of Activities State Convention in Reno, Nevada, March 4-7, 2020.
