RSAI Regional Meetings (Spring 2023)

The 2023 RSAI Regional Meetings took place in April and May 2023, before or after the AEA Superintendent's Meeting at the noted locations. At each meeting, we recapped the 2023 Legislative Session to date, sought input for 2024 RSAI Legislative Priorities, elected RSAI Leadership Group regional representative(s) if their term is up for election, elected Legislative Committee representatives for the 2024 session, and shared more about RSAI. These meetings were open to all district Superintendents, School Business Officials, and Board Members (regardless of RSAI membership status or your district's AEA partner), however, voting was limited to one vote per RSAI member district. There was no cost to attend either in-person or virtually. View the Meeting Agenda.

Rather than a full legislative session update presentation during the meeting, we prepared short videos by topic for review before attending. Listening to these short videos will prepare attendees to discuss issues that should be priorities for the 2024 Session. Please watch them before the meeting, if you can, a total of 50 minutes for all 7 videos. It would also be helpful to review the RSAI April 20th Weekly Report for details on final legislation regarding the Governor's Education Priorities of Chapter 12 Flexibility SF 391 and Transparency and Parents' Rights SF 496.

RSAI Regional Meetings (July 2020)

RSAI hosted a Zoom gathering for each of the four RSAI regions during July 2020. This was an opportunity to learn a little more about the RSAI organization, advocacy priorities, and member benefits. We reviewed details of new flexibilities in SF 2310, Online Learning and COVID Flexibility. Additionally, new RSAI Corporate Partners from BoardWorks Education shared a brief overview of their instructional software, which engages students with or without an Internet connection and assists teachers in delivering quality, standards-based lessons with fidelity.
