89.3 The Current and Citizens League Present "Policy And a Pint: The State of Education"

Feb 17, 2014

We know Minnesota is changing fast. The jobs of the future will be different, and our workforce will be more diverse than ever. So how are Minnesota's schools making sure the students of today and tomorrow will be ready? Our State of the State series continues with a look at education at the next Policy and a Pint. Many of Minnesota's youngest students of color fall behind before they've even attended their first day of school. What needs to happen to not only get these children ready to learn, but ready to lead?

We'll tackle these questions at our next Policy and a Pint, presented by 89.3 Current and The Citizens League. Join host Steve Seel and guests Sondra Samuels of the Northside Achievement Zone, Kerry Muse of Venture Academy in Minneapolis and Michelle Walker, CEO of St. Paul Public Schools. Policy and a Pint is part of our State of the State series, made possible with support from Target Corporation.

About Policy and a Pint "Policy and a Pint" is an ongoing series co-presented by 89.3 The Current and Citizens League. The series' goal is to provide an informal setting for the public to come and discuss important policy issues with community leaders and thinkers.
