Community Conversation - Education Equity

In our November CUTLINE episode, Sheff v. O'Neill: Striving Toward Education Equity (available to stream below), Connecticut Public explored the complex issues around housing, race and inequity, educational funding, and the achievement and opportunity gaps facing kids and families in Hartford and many other Connecticut communities. How did we get to this point, and how can we strive toward education equity in Connecticut? Join our community conversation on Dec. 8 at 4 p.m., featuring moderator Vanessa de la Torre, executive editor of the New England News Collaborative; Jacqueline Rabe Thomas, reporter for Connecticut Public’s Accountability Project; Robert Cotto, Jr., director of the HMTCA-Trinity College Partnership, Ph.D. candidate in education policy at UConn, and former Hartford board of education member; and Henley Solomon, a former Open Choice student who graduated from Conard High School in West Hartford and is now a long-term substitute teacher in that school system.
