DeKalb Vision 2022: Education

Vision 2022: State of Education

Join us for this three-part series where we will hear from different sectors of community leaders. Each leader will give "state of" style remarks where they will briefly recap 2021 and give us a look at what to expect in 2022. 

During the State of Education we will hear from local superintendents regarding their schools and how our community can best support them. A guest speaker will take us into the world of school finances and help bring light to this often misunderstood piece of education. In addition, area colleges and training programs will share about their programs and what is available to your business in the upcoming year. We will hear from:

• Steve Teders, Superintendent DeKalb Central United School District
• Tonya Weaver, Superintendent Garrett-Keyser-Butler Community School District
• Dr. Shane Conwell, Superintendent DeKalb Eastern Community School District
• Dr. Phil Downs, Trine University
• Anita Shepherd, Freedom Academy
• Jason Watson, Trine University
