Civitas Students Can Meet with Post-Dispatch Education Reporter
Blythe Bernhard to Discuss What's Happening in our Schools
|
|
There is much going on in the world of education and Civitas is having a special event on Saturday, January 11th so that we can all learn more about current news.
Among current stories is President-Elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon. She has been sued for allegedly enabling sexual abuse of children. Note that she was sued, not convicted, but she has spent far more of her professional life helping her husband, Vince, manage WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) than working with schools.
Additionally, there is considerable news about our local schools! What about the disparity of financial resources among regional schools?
Virtually all readers of the Civitas newsletter are stakeholders in one or more schools. Our interest is natural.
To help us process all that is happening in education, Civitas is proud to have as a guest presenter Blythe Bernhard. As the chief education reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Blythe has been covering these stories and more. In collaboration with colleagues from the Post, she has been gathering and disseminating data about school districts and individual schools in our area.
Blythe met with Civitas’ 2023 summer interns and was terrific. She is very conversational. As a reporter, she is just as comfortable asking questions and answering them. You can access articles by Blythe by clicking here.
The event is at Crossroads (map), from 10:00 AM – Noon, on Saturday, January 11.
You can sign up by clicking here.
