Expanding Student Success: The State of Expanded Learning in California
Michael Funk, Director, Expanded Learning Division, California Department of Education, Sacramento, CA
We live in a very different world than the last time we were in person at BOOST. With significant investment into afterschool and summer learning at both the federal and state levels - we will discuss how we meet the moment to support our children, youth, families, and communities. We will share up-to-the-minute updates on state and federal policy and its implications for California's Expanded Learning systems. This session will host leaders from the field to share their expertise and vision for this opportunity. Join us for an interactive discussion with time for Q&A. Learn and discuss the Expanded Learning plan for the upcoming year. It is filled with promise and possibility!

A Safer Future for our Youth?
Tremayne Edwards, Education and Engagement Director, Alliance for Gun Responsibility, Seattle, WA
The senseless loss of children to firearms is a uniquely American phenomenon. Join us for a Town Hall meeting with some of the country’s dedicated Gun Violence Prevention (GVP) advocates to discuss the state of affairs around the safety of our children in and outside of school. This forum will highlight community solutions, policies/measures that should be strengthened and discuss ongoing work to envision a world where our children are free to learn and play free from violence and fear.
