This event is one in a series being held nationwide by members of the Public Education Network, which will synthesize feedback into a report and deliver it to lawmakers in Washington this spring.

In Houston, the first half of the meeting will consist of facilitated table discussions on teacher quality, accountability and testing, school funding and public engagement. In the second half, an expert panel will comment on the legislation’s future, in a discussion led by Dr. Peter Bishop, founder of the Studies of the Future graduate program at the University of Houston - Clear Lake.

This event is being held in partnership with Parents for Public Schools, Communities in Schools, the Greater Houston Partnership and The Houston Independent School District.  For more information, visit www.houstonaplus.org or call Houston A+ Challenge at 713-658-1881.
