Michael Rebell will be part of a panel discussion about Brown v Board of Education and the film Unequal Education: Failing Our Children.

Teachers College held a "Symposium of Ideas, Solutions and Possibilities on the 60th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education."  Michael Rebell spoke on the topic of: "The “Perfect Storm” of Property Tax Caps, Hyper Accountability, and Anti-Public Education Politics:  Are Divided and Increasingly Diverse Suburban School Districts Sustainable?"

 

The Center for Educational Equity (formerly Campaign for Educational Equity) convened an important statewide conference on January 23, 2014, in Latham, NY. At the conference, we first reviewed (1) the report of the governor’s New NY Education Reform Commission and (2) the governor’s executive budget proposal. Then, we will discussed a new statewide lawsuit that will seek to ensure adequate funding and the opportunity for a sound basic education for all students, as well as the political and public engagement activities that, along with the lawsuit, were necessary to achieve maximum progress in closing budget gaps and achieving lasting results for the long term.
