Planning for Next Year and Need Help Convincing Your Supervisor or Superintendent?

If you were unable to register this year, please start laying the ground work with your district for funding approval to attend  NYSSSWA’s State Conference in 2025.   (Some districts have already asked for a copy of our W-9 so that NYSSSWA will already be in their system.)  NYSSSWA has put together a couple of sample letters that you can draw from to submit to your supervisor.  Feel free to adapt to meet your needs.

Convince Your Supervisor–Letter 1 (Generic)

Convince Your Supervisor–Letter 2 (Includes the opportunity to list a few sessions that may be specifically pertinent to you and your district.)
