Every year, Education Week identifies some of the nation’s most exceptional school district leaders and shines a spotlight on their extraordinary impact. These leaders will be recognized at the 2019 Leaders To Learn From live event, an annual conference taking place on May 2 and 3 outside Washington, D.C. (Learn more and register here.)
