The 2024 Annual Conference was a resounding success, bringing together professionals from various sectors to share insights, network, and celebrate achievements. The event took place in Orlando, Florida, and featured a packed schedule of sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities. Here are some highlights:
Electrifying Talent: This year’s student group performances were dynamic, delivering high-energy acts that set an inspiring tone for each conference day. Their talent and passion truly stole the show!
Inspiring Keynotes: Our keynote speakers delivered thought-provoking messages that challenged us to innovate, lead, and impact education in powerful ways.
Engaging Sessions: During breakout sessions, attendees explored topics ranging from equity and leadership to cutting-edge technology and strategic planning.
Networking Opportunities: Leaders from ESAs across the nation shared best practices, built new connections, and strengthened their professional networks.
Celebrating Excellence: A highlight of the conference was the celebration of the 2024 AESA National Awards, where we honored the exceptional programs and individuals making a significant impact in education.
Thank you to all who attended, presented, and contributed to making this event such a success. Let’s carry the energy and insights gained into the year ahead as we continue to make a positive impact on the educational communities we serve.
We look forward to seeing everyone again next year at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, December 3-5, 2025. |

The Department Releases Playbook for Students Personal Device Policies |
|
This week, the Department called on every state, school district, and school to adopt policies to guide use of student personal devices in schools. In support, the agency issued “Planning Together: A Playbook for Student Personal Device Policies,” with a model process that education leaders may use to design policies for the use of cell phones and other personal devices in schools, alongside educators, students, parents, and caregivers. It provides a set of step-by-step practices for building a shared understanding of the needs and concerns surrounding personal devices in a school community, as well as recommendations for addressing them through clear and consistent policies. |
