                                                              Over 300 public charter school teachers, leaders, governing board members and advocates came together in Sheboygan, WI last week to share best practices, hear from experts in various fields, and most importantly recharge their communal battery.  Kaleem Caire, Nancy Silberkleit, and John Gee gave memorable keynote speeches over the two days and Governor Scott Walker showed his support for public charter schools as well.  
                                                              Friday was punctuated by student presentations- an opportunity for conference participants to engage with students in charter schools across the state.
