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

August 15, 2019 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

Free

On August 15, join the Mississippi Humanities Council and the Phil Hardin Foundation in Tupelo 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 Tupelo will take place on September 12. 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.
