Attached is a call for proposals for next October's combined NYSATE/NYACTE - Task Force Conference at the Gideon Putnam in Saratoga Springs, NY.
As Kate DaBoll-LaVoie and I described at the Statewide Meeting on March 26th, for this coming fall's Statewide Meeting, the TF has combined with NYSATE/NYACTE to offer a somewhat different venue for its work. As such, our support of our membership for the event will reflect a different structure. HESC will pay for members' registrations for the conference ($185).
The Spring Statewide Meeting of the Task Force for Quality Inclusive Schooling is scheduled for Friday, March 26th, 2010 at the Crown Plaza in Albany, NY. The meeting promises to be energizing and informative. An agenda will be forthcoming in a few weeks.
Because of the late Labor Day holiday this year and school’s starting later than usual, we’ve extended the deadline for registrations and hotel reservations through Friday, September 4th. Please contact Iris as soon as possible with your attendance information: imaxon@syr.edu or (315) 443-1881.
