Through the Charles Butt Foundation Leadership and Scholarship networks, we aim to create a strong, well-connected community of educators who learn, improve, and problem-solve together, and are united in pursuing a more equitable and prosperous future for all Texas students.
If you are a current program participant or an alum, we invite you to submit a video reflecting on how other school leaders or scholars in the network have shaped your career or life for the better.
