Ideas on Tap: The Future of Public Education in Jackson

May 16, 2019 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

Free

On May 16, join the Mississippi Humanities Council and the Phil Hardin Foundation in Jackson for the final in a special two-part Ideas on Tap series on public education in the state.

The program will focus on the Better Together Commission, changes taking place under new JPS leadership, and what these changes mean for student achievement. Panelists include JPS Superintendent Dr. Erick Greene, JPS parent organizer Rosaline McCoy, City of Jackson CAO Dr. Robert Blaine, and W.K. Kellogg Foundation director of Mississippi and New Orleans programs Dr. Rhea Williams-Bishop. The program will be moderated by Mississippi Today education reporter Kayleigh Skinner.

The program is part of a larger yearlong series on public education in communities around the state.

As always, snacks and great conversation are on us, and drinks are on you.
