Attendance: Anne Marie Kiddon, Stella Hughes, Bronwen Zwirner, Acme Price, Jesse Swanigan, Lisa Greening, Shelley Welsch

Agenda – to finalize program for May 2nd Town Hall Forum

Race, Class and Culture – An Educational Perspective:
Speakers, Dr. Williams (Washington University), Ms. Joylynn Wilson (School Administration) and Ms. Bridget Cochren (School Administration)

Margaret & Anne Marie will contact the speakers with very specific requests for what they should cover. Dr. Williams will give an overview based on his research; Ms Wilcon and Ms. Cochren will talk about specifics of UCity schools (test scores by schools, library resources by schools, GATE and other programs – steps to access them, etc.

Important that we have a strong facilitator. Agreed that Margaret will facilitate.

It was agreed that the School Board should be asked to send a representative who can answer school policy questions if they come up. Bronwen & Jesse will write a letter and send to Ms. Coley.

PTO’s, Ward associations, neighborhood and block associations need to be contacted about the Forum.

Bronwen will contact the High School about a link-up session on May 8th .

One non-forum issue arose: UCU Board needs to consider a way we can assist facilitators in issues sub-committees to ensure that those committees are successful.

Respectfully submitted, Bronwen Zwirner Secretary
