The future of public education rests with school districts as centers of bold, innovative ideas informed by research, leading the way to meet today’s challenges and shape what comes next.
The League of Innovative Schools Policy to Action Summit is a one-and-a-half-day gathering designed to equip League superintendents with the tools, knowledge, and network to turn local insights into federal policy influence.
Through hands-on learning, peer collaboration, and education policy conversations with congressional representatives on Capitol Hill, participants will explore how national policies can better support what’s working in classrooms and how strategic federal investment in localized education research and development (R&D) can scale those successes.
This dynamic session will prepare participants to engage confidently and strategically in conversations with their congressional representatives. Attendees will:
Cap off the first day by joining fellow League members for an evening of connection, celebration, and shared purpose. Enjoy drinks, light appetizers, and a variety of food stations. While the reception will offer generous refreshments, we recommend planning for dinner afterward if you’d prefer a full meal.
