2024 Winter Conference

Save the Date! December 4-5, 2024

Join us for the Rural Schools Association of New York Winter Conference on December 4 and 5 at the Excelsior Springs Event Center in Saratoga Springs, NY. Enjoy convenient lodging at the Courtyard by Marriott, located on-site.

This year’s theme, “Building a Bridge Over Troubled Water: Making the Most of a Good Crisis,” will guide our discussions and sessions, focusing on turning challenges into opportunities for rural schools. 

Rural education administrators are at the heart of transforming educational landscapes in small communities, turning challenges into triumphs with creativity and resilience. 

Their work is a testament to the profound impact that dedicated leadership can have on student success and community development.

By championing innovative solutions, fostering strong relationships, and leveraging limited resources effectively, these administrators create vibrant learning environments that empower students and inspire educators. Embracing their role as catalysts for positive change, they are not just managing schools—they are building bridges to brighter futures. 

The RSA Winter Conference is a celebration of this remarkable work, offering an opportunity to amplify their achievements and share success stories, while also recognizing rural education’s unique challenges. By participating in keynotes, panel discussions, and presentations, attendees will not only enhance their knowledge and skills, but also contribute to shaping the future of rural education.

More details on speakers and sessions will be announced soon.

Registration will open in September.
