Districts are already bracing for hard choices about what programs they will fight to keep, and those that will be shown the door. For insights on how school districts are making those decisions, join us at the upcoming EdWeek Market Brief Summit, Oct. 25-27 in Phoenix, where you’ll hear directly from top district administrators from Colorado, Texas, and Arizona about the standards they’re setting for judging stimulus-funded education products when the money runs out. Across the agenda, you’ll get insights from K-12 officials with titles including superintendent, chief academic officer, chief technology officer, district director of strategic data and research, and chief equity officer – all offering insights on what the market is delivering, and where it’s falling short.
