New York City is entering a critical year for public education, when fundamental decisions about school governance, massive budget cuts, the outcomes of mayoral and city council elections and the increased high school graduation standards will shape education policy for years to come. The Annenberg Institute for School Reform invites you to join us for the first in a series of six conversations that will bring together a diverse set of voices to investigate key issues in NYC public schools and discuss the policy changes necessary to address these issues over the next several years.
