There's a lot more than SB training on here--although they are certainly here as well.
Once upon a time, I can understand the need to go elsewhere for training. However, don't we have lots of "consultants" coming here to "train". And, what about video conferencing? Couldn't they use that.
I don't begrudge one conference per year for SB members--but what is with all this travel for school employees? Are these teachers or staff?
