Today, along with many of our members, CPAA learned that CPS is considering amending the school calendar by designating May 1, 2026, as a Day of Civic Action with no student attendance.
Statement from American Federation of School Administrators (AFSA) President Mark Cannizzaro

In the first week of April, the White House released its proposed FY27 budget, outlining top line goals, selected program increases, and proposed eliminations.

Exhibitors played a vital role in the success of this year’s convention, offering attendees direct access to innovative tools.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all of our convention sponsors. Your generous support made it possible for us to bring school leaders from across the country together to share ideas, build solidarity and chart a course for the future of public education.

Your commitment goes far beyond logos and banners—it represents an investment in the people who work every day to create safe, supportive and successful schools. Because of your sponsorship, we were able to provide meaningful sessions, inspiring speakers and unforgettable moments that will leave a lasting impact on our members.

“Unionism for school leaders is more important now than ever. But too many districts still engage teachers while ignoring administrators.”
Take time and review the agenda for the upcoming AFSA Convention.
