AJ Crabill, DeSoto Independent School District

The Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness is pleased to announce the Keynote Address at the 2023 conference:
Improving Student Outcomes: Why School Boards Fail Our Most Educationally Vulnerable Students, What Researchers Can Do About It, with AJ Crabill.
In 49 states, local school boards are delegated the responsibility for educating each community’s children to standards set by the state. Unfortunately, our students who are furthest behind are not catching up to their peers. Meanwhile, the focus of school boards appears to be disconnected from the needs of this particular student group. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
AJ Crabill serves as Conservator at DeSoto ISD -- where during his guidance, DeSoto improved from F ratings in academics, finance, and governance to B ratings -- and as Governance Director at CGCS. He served as Deputy Commissioner at Texas’ Education Agency and Board Chair of Kansas City Public Schools.
The SREE 2023 Conference, Embedding Equity for Better Methods, Evidence, and Practice, will be held September 27 - 30 at the Renaissance Arlington Capitol View Hotel in Arlington, Virginia.The Keynote will be held on Friday, September 29 at 11:30am ET.
