The suggestion was made to create a link on our web page that leads directly to legislation where people can ask questions and make suggestions
Web Page Tom
Tom requests that if you know of any workshops or conferences that you let him know so that he can post it on the website.
He is also looking into purchasing additional web sites that are similar to ours in order to avoid any confusion (CASCWA.net, CASCWA.info, etc)

Membership A new list being compiled from conference attendees in Fresno
October/Fall Truancy Conference Sherman/ Jerry
Our fall conference will be held in conjunction with the National Truancy Prevention Association.
We need to come up with a catchy title any ideas?
Shelby Wilson, California Teacher of the Year has been confirmed as a speaker.
We are still in need of vendors for the conference confirmed are Lozano and Smith and School Innovations and Advocacy. The thought was to try a new format for the conference structure: taking a longer break in the middle of the day on Thursday so that people can enjoy the afternoon and then re-convening in the late afternoon to finish the day.
We will be discussing the conference more in detail at our retreat on August 24-25.
