The Mid-America Union Office of Education hosted their annual summer Education Council in Littleton, Colorado on July 16-20, 2021. The Education Council committee of 35 members encompasses the nine-state Mid- America territory, gathering educators from each conference to represent grades K-12. This includes conference education superintendents, senior academy principals, principals and teachers from junior academies, elementary schools, and small schools, the North American Division and Union College.
Educators had the opportunity to connect with their peers from other conferences and schools, hear reports, share ideas, and discuss similar issues they face. LouAnn Howard, director of education, and Gerard Ban, associate director of education, provided a day of leadership training along with a guest speaker. The agenda also included announcements, calendar items, testing, and other items required by policy to be voted by this committee.
