Live and Learn: Neighborhoods, Education and Transformation

Many things outside the classroom affect students’ chances of success and schools have little or no control over many of these conditions. On January 24, 2017, a panel of education and community leaders will discuss the factors that impact the ability of schools to provide a quality education and what schools and the community can and should be doing to improve the chances for student success.

Panelists

Mayor Sly James, Kansas City, Missouri

Dr. Kristin Droege, Founding Executive Director, Citizens of the World Kansas City

Dr. Jim L. Hinson, Superintendent, Shawnee Mission School District

Dr. Mark Bedell, Superintendent, Kansas City Public Schools
