We are pleased to have representation from 53 of our members at this meeting. Today, with a new administration, new Congress and new federal policy in place, the collective voice of chief state school officers is more important than ever. It is one of the most exciting times to be involved in education at the state level. It is a time filled with new opportunities, but also important responsibilities, to make sure every child —regardless of background— is prepared for success in college, careers, and life. While every state is unique, with different contexts, visions and goals, one thing we know for certain is that states are ready, willing and able to lead and continue to improve education for all kids. A clear example of this is the Leading for Equity report we published in February. As an organization, we took a strong stand on 10 Commitments states can make to create more equitable outcomes for all kids – and state chiefs across the country are already taking steps to make this a reality. States also have taken the lead in policy areas to improve career pathways, elevate the teaching profession, successfully write state plans aligned with the Every Student Succeeds Act and much more. During this meeting, we look forward to further exploring these topic areas together. We kick off the meeting with state pre-sessions including a federal policy update, a federal funding workshop and an update on CCSSO’s strategic planning process. On Sunday evening, we will welcome our friends from the National Association of State Boards of Education and hear from political analyst Nicolle Wallace about the current political landscape in our nation. On Monday morning, CCSSO Board President and South Dakota Secretary of Education Melody Schopp will provide a State of the States address and announce her presidential platform for the year to build on CCSSO’s work around equity and ensure equitable access to effective teaching. We also will take time to hear more on how states are leading in specific policy areas, and dig deeper on some of those areas through chief-led breakout sessions. The new U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos will join us Monday for a discussion about the Every Student Succeeds Act and education priorities of the new administration. On Tuesday, we will conclude the Legislative Conference on Capitol Hill where you will have time to engage with leaders in the House and Senate during the morning. We encourage state chiefs to make time to meet with their Congressional delegations throughout the afternoon. Whether you look at our leadership around equity or the transition to the Every Student Succeeds Act, it is clear states are in the driver’s seat on how to improve education and create equitable outcomes for all kids. We look forward to the next few days to demonstrate how states will continue to lead and how CCSSO can support you in creating success for every child in your state. Sincerely, Chris Minnich Melody Schopp Executive Director Secretary of Education The Council of Chief State School Officers South Dakota Department of Education President of the CCSSO Board of Directors 2 Legislative Conference 2017 » Conference Overview GENERAL INFORMATION Conference Facilities If An Emergency Occurs Capital Hilton Hotel 1.
