innovative learning and leadership practices and accepts new members through an open application process once per year.

League members are represented by their superintendent, who has access to unique professional learning opportunities, including, attending biannual league convenings, which feature school visits, deep-dive breakout sessions and networking opportunities; connecting through regular in-person and virtual programs and events to see
innovations from other districts in action, deepen relationships, and share and learn; engaging with other forward-thinking education leaders from around the country around key challenges and generating best practices and resources; and partnering with Digital Promise to pilot new models and co-design solutions that benefit educators and students.
