From local schools to Olympia to Washington, D.C., education reform and funding is a hot topic. Next Wednesday, February 24, CityClub is hosting a luncheon and panel discussion on education reform and funding. It’s a well-timed event considering recent news such as the McCleary vs. Washington State decision, discussions about the education budget in Olympia and the upcoming federal Race to the Top competitive grant application deadline.
If you’re a parent, educator or student, or if you’re interested in the future of our state and nation’s public education system, you should attend this event.
