Hello Directors of Schools and/or CTE Directors,
It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the Second Bi-Annual PIE Innovation Workshop. This workshop is designed for school districts which desire to explore the development of a facility similar to the one we have created here in Bradley County.
Since opening the PIE Center in Fall of 2022, over 1,000 people have come to visit and tour; however, most wanted more time to hear specifics of PIEs development and implementation. Because of these numerous requests, we are offering the opportunity to attend a workshop to not only see the facility firsthand, but bring your team to hear from our stakeholders, partners, local government, and community members.
You will have the opportunity to ask questions and hear in-depth answers. Additionally, strategizing sessions will provide your team time to work together developing your own approach and an outline of your next steps.
The two-day Fall workshop is March 21 - 22, 2024. The workshop begins on the morning of March 21st.
