With charter schools ascendant, is there still a future for vouchers?
The Thomas B. Fordham Institute invites you to our next event:
With charter schools ascendant, is there still a future for vouchers?
|
Join us Wednesday, August 19, for a panel discussion on how the changing education policy landscape is affecting both charter schools and voucher programs. The Obama administration is aggressively pushing to expand the number of charter schools available to American families. Meanwhile, the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program looks to be on its way out and other voucher programs are facing new challenges. Will the voucher movement survive and thrive in this climate? Does it need to? Are charter schools the future of school choice? Has their promise been overstated? Top experts in the field will share their opinions on these and other key questions. |
Panelists:
Kevin Carey, Policy Director, Education Sector
John F. Kirtley, Chairman, Florida School Choice Fund
Gerard Robinson, President, Black Alliance for Educational Options
Susan Zelman, Senior Vice President, Education and Children's Content, Corporation for Public Broadcasting
Moderator:
Michael Petrilli, VP for National Programs and Policy, Thomas B. Fordham Institute
