WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!
PSST... WE'VE GOT LOTS OF PROGRAMS & MEETINGS PLANNED
CHECK OUT THE BUSY CALENDAR we've put together for 2020-21. You'll be able to participate from home while WestPut helps your district navigate the new landscape. Download our 1-page calendar or sync with our website so you don't miss a step in this year's journey, including a virtual meet and greet with our new Regent, roundtable discussions and more.
MONTHLY TOWN CALLS ARE HERE
REMEMBER LAST SPRING WHEN WPSBA started weekly Town Calls for BOE members to keep up with the changes happening in public ed? Well now, this chance to discuss operations or whatever current issues are on the table will be available to you every month. We'll send the registration info out to your BOE prez & WPSBA rep every month and we ask that you coordinate so only one member of your district signs up to speak (all are welcome to join just to listen)... and everyone will receive the discussion summary the next day.
DUST OFF YOUR ADVOCACY SHOES
BE AWARE OF the changing issues in the Coronavirus environment and help craft regional advocacy strategies. Join our upcoming virtual Advocacy meeting on Sept. 21st to play a role in WPSBA's discussion of this year's NYSSBA resolutions. At subsequent meetings, we will solicit your input on our advocacy agenda and share updated information on the most important issues.
