Ideas on Tap Hernando: The Future of Public Education in Mississippi

August 13, 2019 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

Free

On August 13, join the Mississippi Humanities Council, the Phil Hardin Foundation, and the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi in Hernando for the first in a special two-part Ideas on Tap series on public education in the state.

The free program will feature an ideologically diverse panel of education policy experts to discuss different approaches to improving public schools. Panelists include Grant Callen (Empower Mississippi), Nancy Loome (The Parents’ Campaign), and a representative from Mississippi First. MHC executive director Dr. Stuart Rockoff will moderate.

A follow-up program that addresses public education in Hernando will take place on September 17. Both programs are 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.
