Description: As students return to school, many communities are thinking about what education should provide beyond reading, math and academic achievement. People may differ on the role schools should play in preparing young people for work, citizenship, independence, relationships, and life in a changing world.

At this meeting, we’ll explore how people across the political spectrum think about the purpose of education, what young people most need as they enter adulthood, and how responsibility should be shared among schools, families, and communities.
