2026-27 Network Registration Information New in 2026-27: The All-Inclusive Network Package We are excited to share that 21 of the 38 CESA 7 regional school districts have selected the new All-Inclusive Network Package for the 2026–27 school year. This means that employees of the districts listed below are eligible to participate in any and all CESA 7 network offerings at no additional cost throughout the 2026–27 school year.

To ensure you receive network communications, updates, and calendar invitations, you must register separately for each network in which you plan to participate. Registration for one network does not automatically enroll you in others.

Most networks will begin meeting in September or October, so we strongly encourage all interested participants to complete their registrations before September 10, 2026, to avoid missing important information and meeting invitations.

Look for the AI Add-On symbol in our Professional Learning Catalog

This year, CESA 7 is expanding professional learning with the AI Collaborative Network - a series of practical, half-day sessions designed to help school leaders and educators streamline workloads and drive success.

Districts may register for the full AI Collaborative Network (all nine sessions) or register for individual sessions. When registered for individually, these sessions serve as AI Add-On Sessions that are intentionally paired with corresponding CESA 7 network meetings and scheduled immediately before or after them, making it easy to build a full day of targeted, role-specific professional learning.

If your district has purchased the All-Inclusive Network Package, the full AI Collaborative Network is included at no additional cost. Registration is still required for each session you plan to attend so you receive meeting details, calendar invitations, and session materials.

Not participating in another CESA 7 network? No problem! AI Collaborative Network sessions (AI Add-On Sessions) may be registered for independently, allowing you to choose only the AI TBDteam's needs. learning opportunities that*Location best fit your
