Cedarbrook Conference Center, SeaTac, WA
About the Summit:
Research has shown that the same students who are disproportionately affected by the academic achievement gap are also adversely affected by health disparities. Each Student Successful: Exploring Policies to Address Health Disparities and the Academic Achievement Gap will bring together policy makers, educators, public health professionals, parents, students, academic experts, and advocates to discuss policy and system changes needed to promote good health and narrow the academic achievement gap.
