Great time in Edmonton leading an all day session on school governance and education issues for @PublicSchoolsAB. Impressive group of new and veteran school board trustees. Thanks for the warm welcome and fun conversations!

Comments about Governor Wolf's major K-12 funding budget proposal. A much needed initiative.

We have plenty of evidence of the need to focus on civics and history education. I was honored to serve on the Steering Comm. for the Educating for American Democracy project. Learn about @EADRoadmap and attend the virtual launch: https://t.co/P6tMEl3tVr #EADRoadmap

In several recent programs, I have discussed school board leadership, board/superintendent relationships, and equity issues, including representation on school boards. Check https://t.co/vQBAcWmdL6 for those along with other presentations and articles.

Schoolboards across Manitoba are deep in discussion this week as we continue to lead in our governance role. Many thanks to @DrJCranston @Tom_Gentzel, Darren Googoo and Rob Santos for starting things off in such an engaging manner! @MBSchoolBoards

Important, timely message from two highly respected leaders. I'm honored to serve with them on the Board of Counselors for ASU's School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership. Civics education should be a bipartisan priority for the nation.

BREAKING: The results of @NAESP's survey on reopening schools are out, and principals—who will lead this effort—had a lot to say. The bottom line: Schools need more funding from Congress to support safe reopenings.

A metaphor for our time. While at the beach with my family last week, this awesome thunderstorm came through, followed by one of the most incredible sunsets I’ve ever seen. Storms pass, beauty emerges.
