Superintendent Ybarra’s Prevention and Support conference comes to Boise
BOISE, Idaho (KIFI) – The 28th annual Idaho Prevention and Support conference, “Peace, Hope, and Healing During Challenging Times,” is set for April 11- 13.
The conference will feature a full schedule of speakers, sessions and pre-conference workshops designed to offer Idaho’s schools and educators the support and resources they need to ensure student health and well-being in a rapidly changing world.
Registration is open now. Participants can attend the entire conference in-person for $175 or virtually for $50. There is also an option to attend in-person on Tuesday, April 12 for $100. The conference will feature a range of topics and speakers with input from thought-leaders and front-line educators.
“I’m inspired by the unwavering commitment to student health and welfare shown by Idaho’s educators, even in the face of enormous challenges and uncertainty,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Sherri Ybarra said. “This conference gives us a chance to come together to celebrate our efforts while focusing and refining our approach to ensuring healthy students, healthy educators, and ultimately, healthy schools.”
Although last year’s conference was held virtually, it still attracted more than 700 attendees. The State Department of Education will hold this year’s conference in Boise at the Boise Center West Building.
