Each year, Education Week identifies some of the nation’s most exceptional school district leaders and their impact on student success in its special report. Now, we’ve asked them to bring their insights to bear on K-12 schooling’s most critical challenge: The COVID-19 pandemic.

In this online summit, you’ll be able to interact with experts on teacher hiring, district leadership, technology, mental health, and social-emotional learning who are tackling the new challenges the coronavirus has created for districts.
