Rescheduled LSC Summit 2021

Due to the current education climate, the LSCs.4.ALL coalition has decided to reschedule our annual LSC summit to Feb 27, 10AM-3PM. We apologize for the late notice but we believe we will be able to hold a more powerful collaborative community space if it is pushed back. Please also note that we will be adding additional time to the end of our Summit for an organizing plenary. 

We plan to send two email newsletters this week since there is way too much going on! We hope you and your family are well.
