In order to be effective reformers in their districts, school board members must have the best information about policy options, strategies, and what works. Pacific Research Institute's training seminars for school board members have been highly praised for the high quality of the presentations by workshop speakers, the practicality of the advice and recommendations on critical issues, and the hard-hitting style of the sessions.

The seminar scheduled for November 28 will address critical topics such as how best to improve the performance of English language learners, how K-12 public schools can better prepare students for higher education, lessons from a successful charter school, and how to meet the challenge of school facilities.

Trainers include a top charter school principal, the director of a higher education research organization, a noted author and journalist, and a former top state education official. Handout materials, including PRI's influential and practical education books and studies, will also be available.

Cost: No Cost for School Board Members.

A $250 hotel accommodation stipend will be paid to each attendee.
