Superintendents from across the region shared insights on critical educational programs, including expanded afterschool and summer initiatives, workforce development efforts, innovative graduation pathways, and clubs designed to support students interested in firefighting careers. Their remarks underscored the importance of continued collaboration between schools and policymakers to support student success.
