This session will also introduce attendees to the CALSA X-periencia, led by Coach Al, and featuring a powerful talk from Dr. Roxane Fuentes.

Dive into a unique opportunity to align strategic solutions with the real-world goals of educational leaders. During this interactive lunch, our #CALSAFamilia will engage in focused discussions centered on selected "power practices" that address district priorities.
