Bridging Gaps, Breaking Barriers
Join us in Atlanta for the COSSBA Annual Conference!
Come and join us in Atlanta for an exceptional 3-day conference that focuses on empowering education leaders!
Focusing on creating a unified front and ensuring access for all, we aim to develop and implement policies and practices that eliminate barriers in public education, thereby creating opportunities for every student. Fostering inclusive leadership will drive these initiatives, empowering educators and stakeholders to champion excellence in every classroom. The upcoming COSSBA conference will be a key platform for discussing and advancing these goals.
