Join PPI’s Reinventing America’s Schools Project (RAS) on Wednesday, December 15, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. ET for a one hour webinar on enrollment trends during the pandemic.
Many parents expressed dissatisfaction with traditional public schools during the first year of the pandemic. Studies show that thousands of them expressed that dissatisfaction by disenrolling their children, or “voting with their feet.” At the same time, public charter schools–known for adopting innovative approaches to educating students–dramatically increased enrollment from the end of the 2020 school year to the end of the 2021 school year. So, now what? How can parents and policymakers keep the momentum going to increase options for parents who want them?
This webinar is part of a series co-sponsored by RAS and The 74 Million.
Panelists will include:
Dave Sokola, Delaware State Senate Pro Tempore (D-8th)
Jessica Sutter, District of Columbia State Board of Education
A.J. Crabil, Director of Governance for Council of the Great City Schools
Debbie Veney, Senior VP, National Alliance for Public Charter Schools
Along with two parents who’ve switched to public charter schools:
Matt Mohler, Tallahassee, FL
Katrina Merkerson, Birmingham, AL
Moderator: Tressa Pankovits, RAS Co-Director
