PART 2. Beyond the Schoolhouse: A Vision for Transforming Public Education

Participants are invited to join a roundtable conversation with national education policy leaders to explore the educational needs of America’s most marginalized youth, and to hear a new policy vision grounded in racial justice that draws linkages between education, health, air quality, housing, safety and segregation, and that can be amplified with the support of funders.  Panelists will include: 

• Joseph Bishop, Executive Director, UCLA Center for the Transformation of Schools
• Bruce Lesley, President, First Focus on Children
• John H. Jackson, President and CEO, Schott Foundation for Public Education
• Arnie Fege, President, Public Advocacy for Kids
