2025 District Leadership Institute

Our annual event has arrived for School Board members, Administrators, and County Committee members. Patrick O’Donnell, Chief of Governmental Relations with California School Boards Association (CSBA), will be our keynote speaker. The event will also include informative breakout sessions addressing educational and legal matters.


Keynote Speaker
Patrick O’Donnell joined CSBA in 2023, bringing with him a wealth of experience in education and California politics. O’Donnell has served in California elective politics for more than 20 years. From 2014–22, he served as the chair of the Assembly Education Committee in the California State Assembly. While chair, he pushed for historic investments in the California TK-14 education system and improved school facilities. Through these efforts, he was instrumental in protecting and implementing the state’s Local Control Funding Formula and the need to ensure local control for boards of education across California.
