Last week we wrote that an East Dallas teacher was vying for a chance to speak at the inaugural Extra Yard for Teachers Summit.
Katey Batey is a fourth grade teacher at Dallas ISD’s SS Conner Elementary in East Dallas. After a 10-day public vote that generated 5,230 hits, Batey tied for first place in the I Teach Project video auditions, along with DISD’s Quintanilla Middle School teacher Thom Browne.
The summit is an event designed to celebrate and inspire North Texas teachers. It’s a part of College Football Playoff programming that culminates with the National Championship Game at Cowboys Stadium on Jan. 12.
Any teachers interested in attending have until Dec. 20 to register. Reservations are free but on a first-come, first-served basis with a maximum of 800 attendees. Go to the website to register.
