PRI's Orange County training session for school board members, co-sponsored with the Education Alliance, will address issues such as union contracts and negotiations, how best to instruct English language learners, and effective strategies for communicating withconstituents. Trainers for these session include a veteran school board member, a principal at a high-performing school, an experienced superintendent, and a top education communication expert.
