Winning Over the Public to Drive Real Change

This session is recorded. Register for the recordings package.


The federal education landscape has shifted. From San Francisco's school board recall, to national polls that suggest trust in public schools is falling to its lowest levels ever, to unprecedented declines in student enrollment—school leaders are facing a challenging future. For charter schools, this means there has never been a more important time to define their narrative.

A veteran charter schools communications expert with over 20 years of experience will offer strategic guidance on how to navigate crises, tell compelling stories and build relationships with authorizers. Attendees will learn from best practices that position charter leaders—and their communities—for success.
