Summary

State Superintendent Dr. Brumley told BESE members about the Teacher Leader Summit in New Orleans beginning May 26 and the Teacher Leader Gala on July 25 at the National World War II Museum, describing both as tied to board priorities and inviting attendance.

At the April BESE meeting, State Superintendent Dr. Brumley gave a short report focused on professional‑development events for educators.

"I wanted to call your attention to our annual teacher leader summit...beginning on, I believe, May 26," Dr. Brumley said, noting the summit is expected to draw thousands of Louisiana educators and is closely tied to the department's priorities. He also asked board members to mark July 25 for the Teacher Leader Gala, which he said will be held at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans.

Dr. Brumley framed both events as opportunities to align and advance major priorities for Louisiana schools and encouraged members to attend. The superintendent closed his brief report after describing those two items; no additional departmental data or policy proposals were presented on the transcript during this segment.

Why it matters: The events are major professional‑development and recognition opportunities for educators; attendance and the themes discussed at those events can influence statewide instructional priorities.

The chair thanked Dr. Brumley and the meeting moved on to committee reports and motion packages.
