ESEA & IDEA Directors Conference 2026

Every year, the Federal Programs Department, the Special Education Department, and the Assessment & Accountability Department partner together to host the ESEA & IDEA Directors Conference. This year's meeting will be held September 30–October 1 and will feature an agenda focused on meaningful learning, collaboration, and practical resources for ESEA leaders across Idaho. Throughout the meeting, participants will have opportunities to learn about program updates, explore best practices, and hear examples of innovative work taking place in our LEAs. Each program coordinator will present both a Program Overview Session and a Best Practices & Innovation Session, providing attendees with valuable information, practical strategies, and ideas they can bring back to their districts.
