Professional Learning
Starting November 29, 2024, Kent ISD will renovate the Educational Service Center (ESC), making all meeting rooms unavailable through early 2026. All professional learning sessions and meetings will be hosted at offsite locations during this time. Please pay special attention to the updated event locations when registering. We will keep you informed of any changes to these dates. Thank you for your patience as we improve our facilities to better serve you in the future!
