Olathe Public Schools has a long tradition of hosting Olathe Summer Conference, a professional development education conference for in-district and out-of-district educators to learn from local, regional, and national experts in the field of education. Each year's conference offers an extensive three-day schedule of keynote speakers, presentations, workshops, collaboration breakouts, and other opportunities for each participant to customize their learning experience to their personal learning needs. We hope you'll make it part of your summer schedule to attend Summer Conference to collaborate, learn, and grow with experts in the field!
