File Attachment:
Summary: On November 15, 2017, the Board of Trustees approved three participants from the California Military Institute to attend the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Conference in Chicago, Illinois, on June 24-27, 2018. Since that date, there has been a change in the attendees. At this time, Mr. Michael Rhodes, Commandant/Principal of the California Military Institute (CMI), is requesting that the Board of Trustees approve the attendance of the below listed participants:

Tate Burns, Assistant Principal, Robert Guzman, Teacher on Special Assignment, and Steve Nichols and Erin Zoccoli, CMI educators.

The ISTE Conference provides professional development opportunities for anyone who works in education. This national conference has professional development sessions in the form of lectures, panel discussions, hands-on or bring-your-own-device sessions, leadership meetings, product showcases, remote interactive video conferences, and many workshops on various educational technology practices. This conference covers themes such as School Improvement, Technology Infrastructure, Professional Learning, Digital Age Teaching & Learning, and Virtual Schooling/E-learning. District attendees would be joining approximately 17,000 other educators at the event.

Participants at ISTE 2018 have opportunities to collaborate on the articulation of a vision for districts in implementation of educational technology, a vision for districts to provide support and training for their staff, and a vision to empower staff in the use of educational technology for student achievement. There is also a large focus on technology and the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). ISTE has been instrumental in the success of the roll-out and ongoing implementation of educational technology at PUHSD.
Funding: The cost for this item will be funded through the California Military Institute’s Local Control Accountability Plan Supplemental and Concentration funds.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the amended out-of-state conference request for California Military Institute staff members to attend the International Society for Technology in Education Conference in Chicago, Illinois, on June 24-27, 2018.
