Board member summarizes CSBA conference: focus on equity, mental health and system change
Summary
A board member who attended the CSBA conference reported back on sessions about bilingual programs, system‑level reforms for equity, mental‑health strategies and shared materials with the board; a repeated theme was 'love is in the details.'
A board member returned from the California School Boards Association conference with highlights for the board, recommending sessions on bilingual program models and system-level approaches to equity and mental health. The member emphasized the conference’s central message — "love is in the details" — and said presenters urged districts to examine systems rather than only changing individual behavior.
The report cited sessions by Dr. Robin Aguilar Lazar and a keynote by Victor Ríos, noting discussions about student anxiety among children of undocumented caregivers and data‑driven approaches to close achievement gaps. The board member said they would share slides and resources with colleagues and recommended following up on promising practices with other districts.
