Conference Preface:

The 2011 NSBA Annual Conference in San Francisco, California features a world-class curriculum with hundreds of sessions focused on the issues that every school board member needs to understand, including updates on:

• federal legislation
• legal implications of recent federal court decisions on school policies
• strategies to maximize your district's budget
• ideas and advice for implementing 21st century skills

Ask yourself –

• What more can my school board do to ensure a bright future for the students in our community?
• Could a new data report, technology, or innovative approach make a difference?
