“Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism, but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice.”

-Adam Smith

What is the evidence that economic freedom promotes human flourishing? How do fiscal policy, monetary policy, and international trade policy impact economic freedom and outcomes such as poverty, healthcare, and life expectancy?

Whether you’re new to these ideas or looking to deepen your understanding, this discussion will provide valuable insights into the foundations of economic liberty.

Strong schools begin with strong leadership willing to innovate with purpose. The 2026 KSBRC School Board Summit: Innovation with Purpose will equip school board members, superintendents, and district leaders with innovative but practical strategies to improve academic achievement.

This one-day Summit brings together nationally recognized experts, experienced Kansas educators, attorneys, and district leaders to discuss proven approaches for improving student outcomes through effective governance, strategic leadership, and responsible stewardship of public resources.

Sessions will also examine strategies for identifying efficiencies within district budgets so resources can be redirected back into the classroom, where they have the greatest impact on teaching and learning. Speakers will explore the importance of board policies grounded in Kansas law while reflecting the values and priorities of the local community, as well as provide school leaders with a better understanding of today’s special education landscape and the legal and governance responsibilities that accompany it and tackle tough issues surrounding student discipline.

Whether you are a new or experienced board member, superintendent, or district administrator, the KSBRC School Board Summit will provide practical tools, expert guidance, and innovative ideas to help your district lead with purpose and remain focused on what matters most—improving student achievement.
