Sustaining Innovation and Choice
in a New Political Landscape
February 3 - 6, 2013
Washington, DC
Held in the nation's capital during National Magnet Schools Month and just weeks after the presidential inauguration and the beginning of a new session of Congress, the conference will feature panel discussions, keynote speeches, presentations, and opportunities to meet with your elected officials.
Learn about new and existing federal grant opportunities that will help expand or improve your magnet programs; new initiatives at the U.S. Department of Education; emerging research on magnet schools; prospects for the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA); and how magnet schools improve public school choice programs, revitalize communities, and meet the demands of the 21st Century Workforce.
