Network Symposium Cancellation
Due to recent events, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Network Symposium in Durham, NC, originally scheduled to take place on March 13 and 14.
While there is currently a low incidence of COVID-19 in North Carolina, this is a decision we made out of an abundance of caution. In accordance with our values and mission, we are prioritizing the health and well-being of our partners, teachers, community members, and most importantly, your students.
We must acknowledge the incredible work that went into the content creation for the Symposium. Thirty-six of our partners – district leaders, principals, teachers, and other community leaders – have been preparing amazing learning sessions for the benefit of our community. We greatly appreciate their willingness and commitment to sharing their best practices and lessons learned with our network.
All ticket fees will be automatically refunded via your original payment method. If you come across any issues regarding your refund, please contact Katy Turnbull.
Sincerely,
Participate Learning
