For the past 41 years, IASB, in cooperation with the Chicago Board of Education, has provided an opportunity for educators at the Joint Annual Conference to visit a Chicago school through the Chicago Schools Tour.

This year, we are offering five tours on Friday, Nov. 16, 2012, that will cover a variety of schools as part of CPS new program on Diverse Portfolio opportunities. They include:

• Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences
• Lane Technical High School
• National Teachers Academy
• Pulaski International School of Chicago
• Rowe Elementary Charter School

Cost of the tour is $85 per person and includes a buffet-style breakfast at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. All tour participants must be paid annual conference registrants or guests of paid annual conference registrants.

Space is limited to 220 reservations. Registration is available by mail or online and must include the reservation form with check or credit card information covering registration fees. Telephone reservations will not be accepted.

Tour ribbons for registration received by Oct 19, 2012, will be mailed to the district superintendent on Nov. 2, 2012. Tour ribbons for registrations received after Oct. 19 may be picked up at 8 a.m., Friday, Nov. 16, at the registration counter in front of the Regency Ballrooms A & B, West Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago.
