SUMMARY: The Utah Association of Public Charter Schools is pleased to present the fourth annual Utah Charter School Conference, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 15 & 16. This is a TWO-DAY conference; we do not offer a reduced fee if you only attend one day or the other.
Please set aside two days in June to rub shoulders with others working just as hard as you are in Utah’s charter schools. It is a place to make new friends and learn about other innovations in education. And last, we want this conference to inspire, enlighten and reenergize you.
We hope to see you at our “bigger and better” conference this June. And we thank you for ALL that you do to help Utah’s charter school students reach their full potential.
