UA to Brief America’s Superintendents

Upstream Alliance to Co-Host ESSA Briefing
at AASA, “The School Superintendents Association’s” Annual Conference
February 12, 2016 in Phoenix, Arizona

Upstream Alliance’s Don Baugh, Prince George’s County (Maryland) Public Schools CEO, Dr. Kevin Maxwell, and the North American Association for Environmental Education and Project Learning Tree are co-hosting a significant first for environmental education–a session at the annual conference of AASA on the recently passed Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). This is a very timely and mighty opportunity to brief local school system superintendents on the historic environmental education funding in ESSA. There are 13,588 school districts in America and AASA is the sole organization that represents those superintendents. A rising tide floats all boats and we encourage all environmental education groups to reach out to their local superintendents to attend this session. Participants will learn the particulars in ESSA and get a sneak peek into the process going forward to apply for funding for partnerships between school systems and environmental education providers. They will also preview Dr. Maxwell’s model partnerships which are in place in P.G. County. If you are interested in inviting your local superintendent contact Upstream Alliance or send them this invitation: AASA Invitation.Environmental Education.PGCPS. A grand opportunity!
