Our schools can greatly benefit from new strategies to engage students.  This workshop will provide storytelling development for leaders to equip them to share stories about their students to inspire increased levels of support. 

CASCWA Southern Section has a history of hosting important workshops for our members and friends.  Our workshops bring educators in the fields of student services to focus on important topics, to engage with others and to connect with other experts in our profession. 

Our CASCWA State Conference will soon be here in Garden Grove and we hope to see you there!  If not, we hope to see you in the "Fall", when we host our next Fall workshop.  The topic will probably focus on improving school attendance.

A special thank you to Michelle Sapanara, Assistant Superintendent, Springs Charter School, for putting together this important workshop. 

For questions, please contact Aurora Mendoza Perry at: aurora.mendoza.perry@gmail.com

Please share this workshop with others and we hope to see you this February in Temecula!

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

On Friday, December 6th, The Los Angeles  County Office of Education held their annual “Legislative Update.”  Through out the year, our CASCWA Legislative Chairman, Sherman Garnett, does a great job of representing CASCWA at hearings and keeping us informed on pending bills and bills that are signed.  LACOE’s annual event brings together the key staff members relevant to the legislation.  They delivered a lengthy power point (slides included below) covering the main topics, description of the new laws and pertinent education codes.  Dr. Sonya Smith is to be commended for putting together this excellent.  The annual event is open to all in the fields of student services.  All you need to do is to register.

In addition to the presentation, LACOE has put together a publication entitled, “2024-5 Educator’s Guide to Legislative Update.”  The publication is 306 pages, contains specific text of each bill and shows deletions on bill language.  This publication is important to all in the fields of student services who are active in board policies and administrative regulations.

CASCSA has taken the slides from the update and prepared a follow up to the event below.  This includes contact information regarding this year’s publication.  Please click below:

Never, Never, Never!

It seems like everyday, our members and friends receive fake, bogus emails!  Many requests are for money payments or gift cards.  Dr. Kevin Torosian is now our past state president.  He has asked us to post information reminding you that our CASCWA organization never asks for money, gift cards or any thing that has the scent of a bogus fake transaction.  If you receive one, please forward it to your state president at rdriegs@gmail.com.
