Richard Long , Executive Director for Government Relations, National Title I Association will present this final session at the National Title I Conference in Tampa FL.
Reauthorization has been the question for the past four years, it could happen this year; but when it is rewritten one of the key issues will be: What is the balance between Federal/State/Local educators and leaders and how can we make the program work better in the 21st Century. Discussing that question will be Ann Whalen, of the US Department of Education office of the Secretary (invited); Cathryn Gardner, State Director of Title I for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; Suzanne Ochse; Joel Packer, Executive Director of the Committee for Education Funding; Lawrence D. Tihen, Interim Superintendent of Schools, Lee County School District, Fort Myers, Florida (invited); and Richard Long, Executive Director for Government Relations for the National Title I Association.
