Childhood Poverty and Funding Inequities – Chicago – July 11-13
July will find the Roundtable in Chicago to examine poverty and funding inequities. After being ignored for a decade or more in policy discussions about schools, poverty is again back in the national spotlight. Join experts from organizations such as the Southern Education Foundation, the Economic Justice Institute, and Stanford to discuss the extent of poverty among school children, funding inequities, and research correlating in- and out-of-school factors related to learning.
