Democratic Women of Westport, Staples Young Democrats Host “The Anti-Racist Policy Agenda: Education” Tomorrow at 7:30 PM
The Democratic Women of Westport and the Staples Young Democrat club will be hosting a Zoom webinar as part of their series: The Anti-Racist Policy Agenda. This conversation’s focus will be on education, and will include panel members from the local education community as well as national organizations. The previous conversation was based on Immigration, and included Connecticut Attorney General William Tong.
The conversation will cover:
• What racial disparities have persisted in the educational system in the last decade?
• Can we identify state-level policy solutions to address these disparities?
• Have federal policies, like testing or curriculum requirements, exacerbated or lessened disparities and can the state ameliorate those policies?
• What would educational equity in Connecticut look like?
• Can we build political support for these solutions and make CT a model for change?
Panelists will include:
Joshua Aronson, New York University
Michael Cummings, Fairfield Public Schools
Steve Hernandez, CT Commission on Women, Children & Seniors
Eric Juli, Shaker Heights (OH) High School
Keith Little, SCO Family of Services
Moderated by Justine Marous, Marous Law
