To all teachers, administrators and community members interested in child advocacy and education:

As the Truancy Court Program Manager and School Liaison, I am sending you the link located below regarding an Urban Child Symposium presented by the Center for Families, Children and the Courts (CFCC) to take place on April 2, 2009.

The topic is Solving the Drop-out Crisis: Getting the Other Half to Attend and Achieve. CFCC would like to extend the invitation for this event to you and to anyone you think would be interested. This includes any and all parents and students who would like to hear the amazing Jonathan Kozol [Author of Savage Inequalities, Amazing Grace, Death at an Early Age, and others] speak at 5:30pm. The event is free, and breakfast and lunch will be provided.

In addition to those you may know personally who would be interested in attending this Symposium, if you could forward this invitation to other other staff, teachers, students, parents and administration, and community partners, it would be greatly appreciated. There is more information on the Symposium below, if you click on the link provided. Registration is online.
