The conference was generously supported by State Farm®. Daphne Kwok, APAICS Executive Director, remarked, "The energy, enthusiasm and commitment radiated throughout the conference as the Asian Pacific American school board members had so much to share with each other. Their commitment to the children was evidenced throughout the conversations. With just over 100 APA school board members nationwide, I hope next year we can all work to double the number of APA School Board Members!" Sessions focused on "Will No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Leave Asian Pacific American Students Behind?" led by Dr. Seree Weroha, Consultant, Bilingual/ESL Education Program, Content & Learning Team, Department of Instruction, State of Wisconsin. The challenges of implementing NCLB were the same for California as it was for the other states represented at the conference (Oregon, Iowa, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Michigan and Connecticut). The California Asian Pacific Islander School Board Members Association held its election of officers. 85% of all Asian Pacific American School Board Members are from California. There are approximately 100 APA California School Board Members. If you know of any Asian and Pacific American school board members, please send their names and contact information to APAICS at |
