Heading to TASA Midwinter? 5 Must-Do's in Austin

And we’re off! TASA Midwinter Conference 2019 has officially begun.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Inspiring Leaders.” Throughout the week, school leaders from districts across Texas will be sharing their success stories and looking for solutions to common challenges.

Attendees are sharing their stories on social media, using the hashtag #TASA19. We’re rounding up some of the best messages, images, and videos here on TrustED throughout the week.

So, be sure to check back each day for the latest and greatest coming out of #TASA19.
