10/22/12 - A community conversation on the future of education in Michigan will return to Livingston County this month. The Community Conversation on Education is sponsored by the Center for Michigan and Outreach Coordinator Amber Toth tells WHMI conversations are taking place all over Michigan. The community conversations focus on ideas on how to improve pre-kindergarten through 12th grade education policy. Attendees will also be asked to share success stories of local educational efforts to help provide real-world examples of positive education policy. Toth says the conversations are designed to find common ground in public opinion about education policy so that the Center for Michigan can create a report based on those recommendations in January. The report will then be shared with project participants, legislators and officials at all levels of government within Michigan. The Center for Michigan first hosted a community conversation program through the Livingston Educational Service Agency and others have since been held in Howell and Brighton. The next conversation will take place at Parker Middle School from 7 to 8:30pm this Wednesday, October 24th. RSVP information can be found in the events section, located to the right of our webpage.
