This solutions-focused conversation will address topics such as recruiting and retaining teachers, the school funding formula, and what can be done to improve student performance.
During the 2023 regular legislative session, lawmakers passed bills that require armed security officers at every school, provide mental health training for certain district employees and give some extra money for retired teachers. However, teacher pay raises and additional school funding fell by the wayside amid a stalemate over school vouchers, which would give parents access to state funding to pay for their children’s private schooling.
The conversation will be held at 9 a.m. Central time on Nov. 1 at the Tribune's Studio 919. Tribune public education reporter, chief state impact officer for the Commit Partnership. This event will also be livestreamed and will be available to watch on demand afterward.
