One Detroit Education Virtual Town Hall

What Really Matters in Education

January 28 at 4:30pm ET

With COVID-19, the whipsaw effect of the transition from in-person to virtual learning and back again has become the new normal. How are teachers, parents, and students being effected? What are superintendents’ plans to help students either stay on or get back on track?

RSVP Here >

Join us for this important conversation about the state of education. One Detroit’s Managing Editor and Anchor Christy McDonald will moderate a 1-hour virtual town hall on the state of education in the time of COVID.
