aPODERar Symposium - Building on Culture, Community, & Resilience

Dive into the dynamic realm of revitalizing public education spaces, including workforce housing dynamics, surplus property from school closures, and reimagining district real estate. Discover the art of strategic funding exploration, tapping into state, local, and private sector resources to revitalize educational infrastructure. Lastly, learn to navigate partnership complexities, unlocking the potential of collaborations with local and national organizations to amplify school facilities projects. Together, we will explore how to create inviting environments that inspire students to come to school and engage actively in their education, ultimately reducing absenteeism and fostering a culture of attendance and achievement.
