Today, we honor and recognize the monumental decision in Brown v Board that "separate is not equal". This decision, made 70 years ago, demonstrates that when we advocate for one, we can positively impact all. Let's continue our work of leading for world class student success.


Congratulations to G.A. Buie on his election to serve as Secretary for the Association of State Executives (ASE)!
