 * Day 1:**

8:30AM -11:30AM- Meetings with District Administration/Staff ECS will provide breakfast and a meeting location equipped with a white board and a projector. We'll start with introductions and a presentation from each national expert on their topic of expertise. Then we'll move into an interactive discussion facilitated by the national expert and a member of ECS's staff on the state of ECS in each area, uncovering what we do well and what initial areas we might be able to make improvements. Jason Glass will present a brief history of the district along with key district administrative staff so that national presenters have a good understanding of where the district has been and is considering going.
 * Day 2:**

12:30PM - 4:30 - Meetings with School Staff (Principals/Teachers) ECS will arrange for focus group size (8-12) groups interested in your area of expertise to come and provide some "on the ground" information about how ECS does business. The national expert presentations from the mornings can be repeated or abbreviated for these later groups. The purpose here is for the national experts to really dig into the ECS approaches and hear from people in schools how things are going, so you can get an authentic understanding and start formulating quality recommendations.

Evening - ECS will host a dinner for our national experts at one of our fantastic world class local restaurants. Be our guest!

8:30AM -11:30 - Meetings with District & School Staff - Debrief Findings These meetings will occur early in the morning and allow the national expert to briefly explain their initial findings and perhaps some recommendations. These meeting will be more informal and we'll be sure to get you to the Eagle Airport for your flights out.
 * Day 3:**

PM - Depart EGE Airport The Eagle Airport is one of the coolest things about living here. Security in the summer takes about a whopping 3 minutes and its about a 25 yard walk from security to the terminal. While it does have all the security features of a regular airport, EGE is noooo hassle!
