The session, co-sponsored by Michigan Radio and The Children’s Center, will be a town hall format, in which audience members will be asked to give their views on the state of education in their community and a variety of potential reform measures.

To RSVP for the event, send an email to nwells@childrensctr.net.

The practical details:

WHEN: 10 a.m.-noon, Aug. 4

WHERE: Children’s Center, 79 W. Alexandrine, Detroit 48201

The Center is in the midst of a year-long listening tour of Michigan aimed at collecting the thoughts of 5,000 residents about the future of K-12 education. Approximately 3,500 residents already have participated.
