Please attend the online information session for more detailed information regarding the timeline, commitment requirements, and in-person meeting location(s).
The program is open to PK-12 principals and any of their designated MTSS Team members. Applications for participation will open after September 9th and will be reviewed on a rolling basis through September 26th until all slots are filled. All schools will be notified of their application status no later than September 27th, with virtual learning sessions to begin the week of October 7th.
