Fri., 4/3 Zoom Panel: COVID19 School Closures
An exclusive FREE event with policymakers and K-12 experts exploring the equity gap exposed by crisis and the impact on Black and Brown students
a CSG East feature
The Council of State Governments Eastern Regional Conference (“CSG East”), Council on Communities of Color presents the first installment in an ongoing series of conversations called "CSG East on COVID-19" or #CSGCOVID19.
These discussions offer insights, analysis and solutions on numerous challenges communities and governments face as the COVID-19 crisis ensues.
This first installment is in partnership with the B|E Note. It is a unique convening of state and local policy makers, experts and thinkers concerned about the massive equity gaps exposed from coronavirus pandemic school closures nationwide. As school districts everywhere in all 50 states are forced into historic and unprecedented closings, some of which may last into the end of the school year, K-12 students and parents are faced with great uncertainty. Nowhere is that uncertainty felt greater than in already distressed Black and Brown communities where major social, economic, public health and food disparities exist.
Join us for a 1-hour panel to discuss those gaps and ways in which districts, policymakers and communities can creatively collaborate and address them now. You must first register here to listen in.
