2011 Fall Conference & Delegate Assembly

Thank you for attending
this year's events!

More than 100 CASB members attended this year's Fall Conference Oct. 14 in Pueblo. The conference, "A Matter of Law: Legal Issues for School Leaders," focused on legal responsibilities of school district leaders. Board members, candidates and school officials learned about current court cases and local control as well as pressing legal topics such as parental notification, teacher dismissal and cheating. 

During a preconference session, attendees learned about CASB's new Data for Governance project, an effort to provide new insight on using data to lead successful school districts.

Delegates also voted on a number of resolutions and amendments. The Delegate Assembly is members' opportunity to frame CASB's guiding principles and help set the advocacy agenda for the upcoming year. It is important that each local board review the resolution booklet, emailed every July, and then submit amendments and new resolutions to be considered at the Delegate Assembly. Participating in the resolution process and Delegate Assembly is one way CASB members influence CASB as an organization and ensure that their local voice is heard. Read the final resolutions.

Next year's conference will again tackle pressing legal issues. It will take place in Denver in the fall. Other information will be posted as it becomes available.
