June 2 Education Action Summit
"Education Advocacy in the Stimulus Era: Strengthening Resource Equity and Opportunities to Learn for all Students in Public School"
Harrisburg, Tuesday, June 2, 2009
Education leaders throughout Pennsylvania shared their experience, knowledge and strategies about the best ways to improve public schools for disadvantaged students and communities. The Summit was especially important as advocates determine how to best organize to ensure effective investment of federal stimulus funding.
More than 100 education leaders — from Donna Cooper, Secretary of Policy and Planning for Governor Ed Rendell, to parent advocate Melissa Allen — spent the day on June 2 creating a foundation for students, parents, educators, and grassroots organizations throughout the state to work more closely together in 2009-10 developing improved opportunities to learn for all children.
