JCRC Town Hall on "Race and Education"

Segregation ended in the 1960s, but schools with high concentrations of low-income and minority students still tend to evidence an alarming achievement gap. Despite the positive impact that learning can have on communities, policies and practices often push schoolchildren into the criminal justice system -- a problem that’s become known as the “school-to-prison pipeline.” What can be done to change these educational inequities? Join our Town Hall and engage in JCRC's consensus building process through real-time polling.

June 2 at Congregation Beth Am, 26790 Arastradero Rd, Los Altos Hills, CA

Presenters: Eva Paterson, President and Co-Founder, Equal Justice Society, and Ryan Smith, Executive Director, The Education Trust—West

Moderator: Ilana Kaufman, JCRC PACE Director, East Bay

This Town Hall is part of JCRC's year-long campaign, Racial Justice: Learning for Change, to learn from the most noted policy experts, advocates, and social service providers about the national and local issues of racial equality.
