I appreciated that there were new speakers this year

Excellent CLE and presenters

I was not a fan of the Ted Lasso presentation with all the curse words. I like the show, but the clips were inappropriate. Educators are held to strict standards as they work with Texas students and with each other. I think speakers should consider this when presenting a professional presentation to other colleagues, including administrator/board member colleagues.

Great content! I would have loved a few of the sessions to have been longer.

I have attended in person or watched the econference videos of many a school law conference. This was an excellent conference.
