2013 North Country Symposium
The 11th Annual North Country Symposium
Background Reading
Not only are the issues surrounding public education in Northern New York complicated, but events are unfolding rapidly. To assist potential attendees and others in learning more, North Country Symposium is partnering with North Country Public Radio to offer a “special page” of relevant stories. This is not a static page and will be updated with new stories as they become available - NCPR 2013 Symposium News. Thanks to all the staff at NCPR for this valuable resource.
