DC Education Issues Forum
Where: Greater DC Cares
Date: 2007-08-14 18:30:00
Type:
As DC’s new Chancellor of Schools recently commented, education has the potential to be the true equalizer within our divided society. Unfortunately, for DC’s youth, that promise continues to remain unmet by the local public school system. Despite the best efforts of our local educators and the fact that DC has one of the highest per-pupil spending rates in the country, our city’s test scores consistently fall in the bottom of national rankings. Many have argued that the failures of our system result from issues such as: · Frequent turnover in school leadership and staff · Misappropriated allocation of resources, both financial and material · Anachronistic state of the system’s infrastructure On August 14th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, Greater DC Cares will host a forum to discuss how these issues and others affect college access, early childhood education, adult and vocational education, and special education within the context of the District’s educational system. Join us to better understand the issues and learn specific, actionable steps to directly contribute to this important cause. Panelists Include: - College Summit’s National Capital Region Director - Martha Ross, of the Brookings Institution’s Greater Washington Research Program - Jesse Bailey, Campaign Director, Pre-K for All DC - Anne Gay, past DCPS Assistant Superintendent for Special Education For more information or to RSVP, contact Maya Graham at mgraham@greaterdccares.org or (202) 777-4445. As always, our event is free and open to the public. Space is limited, so please sign up when possible. Location: 1727 I St., NW, Washington, DC.

From Comedy Central and Showcase Winner at HBO Comedy Festival Andy Hendrickson with Rob Maher Bizrarre, demented, sarcastic, and completely hilarious are a few words to describe this unique comedian. Andy Hendrickson is a well-rounded talent. His warped sense of the world provides audiences with a clever dialogue that everyone laughs at and never forgets. He explores everyday observations that everyone can relate to and covers outlandish topics that sometimes require the audience to think beyond the norm. His twisted thinking sets audiences up with subtle comedic jabs and knocks them silly with outrageous punches. A regular on the comedy club circuit and on XM Radio's Comedy Channel, Andy delivers the big laughs and leaves the audience with sides and cheeks hurting. Andy's television credits include NBC's "Night Shift", WB"S "Late Nite Laff Off" and Media One's "Gonzo Comedy". You may have also heard him on Sirius Satellite Radio, The Bob and Tom Show and National Lampoon Radio. Riot Act Comedy Club is located at 1610 14th Street, NW. WDC 20009.
