The American system of public education was created with two vitally important purposes:  to prepare youth for success in a career and, of equal importance, to provide the knowledge and skills to be informed, engaged citizens. Public education is the only opportunity program offered to all American youth, at no charge, and it is critical to the future of Baltimore’s children.

On August 18, hear the perspectives of three education experts on what we can do to keep children engaged in school from pre-K to graduation, including how businesses and individuals can have an impact on student achievement.
