Making Education a Priority in Our City: An In-Depth Look at DC's Public Schools and Public Libraries
Tuesday, May 16, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Most people would agree that providing our children and youths with the educational opportunities necessary to lead successful lives should be one of our top priorities. However, here in the capital of the richest nation in the world, we have seen a continuous disconnect between rhetoric and action concerning our commitment to quality educational institutions. Despite the hard work and dedication of those on the front lines, the condition of DC's Public Schools and Public Libraries has severely disadvantaged our youth, damaged our reputation as a city, and caused families to abandon the Public School system and at times the city itself.

Join us on Tuesday, May 16, to learn more about the crisis facing our city's educational systems and what is being done to address it. Representatives from 21st Century School Fund, District Community Voices Organized and Informed for Change in Education (DC VOICE), The Library Renaissance Project, and The Federation of Friends of DC Public Libraries, will discuss the current status of the city's school and library facilities and programs. Specific topics to be addressed will include the facility/program funding of these crucial institutions, the recent actions taken by community activists and our city leaders to rectify this injustice (such as the School Modernization Act and the Mayor's Blue Ribbon Task force on Libraries), how you can get involved, and much more.

This program is free and open to the public, but reservations are required. To register, learn the location of the event, or for more information, contact Kilin Boardman-Schroyer, 202-777-4457.
