Subject: Six Essential resources to have when presenting Esports to your Board & Community
To: Dr Jeff James <jeff_james@iss.k12.nc.us>

Greettings Dr Jeff

As a former teacher, administrator, counselor and school board member I have never been so excited and encouraged as by what I am currently seeing in the exploding environment of esports, scholastic gaming and purposeful play experiences associated with the school districts I am working with on behalf of Generation Esports.

Having relevant and recent information is important in communicating to your district about this growing opportunity. So, to hopefully save you some time I have listed below 6 of the most common issues I am usually asked when talking to school districts across the country about what is esports, is it safe, and how do we start an esports team or join a league? ​

I have even included one of my Powerpoint presentations you can use to share with your district staff, Board of Education members or even community organizations when you go out to speak ( PTO's, Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, etc. ) I hope this is helpful and of course I am available to answer any other questions you may have about our esports resources and Gaming Concepts curriculum.

Thank you for all you do serving your community, its families and for making a difference in the lives of all the students who walk through your school buildings' doors each and every day.
Andrew
