Good Evening.
If you have time on May 14, we highly recommend that you take time to listen in on this important seminar. Our school districts have lost track of hundreds of thousands of students, and we all know that is very likely those that are already underserved and at risk. Not all students have the same access to a remote learning climate and we need to stay conscious of that.
