Ensuring that every child has access to a world-class education is the greatest challenge facing today’s generation of leaders…and the silver lining of Hurricane Katrina is that New Orleans has responded. Please join us for a community-wide, open forum to hear the story of how we got here, how we are breaking new ground, and how the community can serve as advocates for the children - the future - of our great city.

This event is free and open to the public.
