   The Report Card Needs You!
When I look back at the program guides from at least 20 CSAA annual conferences I find a wealth of schoolhouse related titles presented by VERY well researched members. Conference topics have rarely if ever repeated or overlapped and every one of them has offered a unique perspective and fascinating information.

Like most conference schedules our programming offers concurrent presenters, so you have to make a difficult decision in choosing which topic you will attend. That leaves you wondering what you missed. A number of our members have allowed their work to be posted here on The Report Card.


I often wonder if our presenters shared their programs with  historical societies or libraries after our conferences were over. Did they spread that wealth to other interested parties? Or are all those programs hiding in a thumb drive just waiting to amaze another audience? The Report Card offers another opportunity to share....here.

Readers' FAQ's (TRC...The Report Card)
Why would I attend a conference if I can access the presentations on TRC?
​Do I have to be a former conference presenter to offer a submission to  TRC?
Can I submit a post?
  • First, not everyone who ever presented will wish to post their work. We understand "scholarly work" or copyright issues may be contributing factors. Those won't appear here.  
  • Second, the conference experience IS THE FUN of meeting like minded schoolhouse preservationists from all over the country. TRC is second best for sharing.
  • Third, the full day coach tour to country schools and heritage sites is priceless. Come for the ride.  It's the real deal.
  • Fourth, networking is highly valuable just BEING at a conference. 
  • Fifth, the purpose of sharing a few of our past presentations is to engage those who are saving their schools and can't attend a conference at a great distance. CSAA is here to help in so many ways.​
  • Sixth, submissions to TRC do not have to be FROM a past conference presenter! We've posted articles or projects by a number of our casual readers since we opened this space in 2023. 
  • So...

Do you have a country school related program you would
​like to share with THE REPORT CARD readers? 

Histories, Commentaries, Videos, Slide Shows, PDF's, Artwork, Schoolhouse
​Curriculum Guides, Schoolhouse Tours, Restoration Stories, etc?

Send your program description and we will arrange for a drop box delivery.
Your post will be most appreciated and enjoyed!

Thanks, Susan Fineman

    The story of what went on inside that eminently successful country school is an important part of Americana. It should be preserved along with a few remaining buildings wherein the great cultural pageant took place."
