Public Education in Chicago During the Pandemic Challenges for Fall 2020
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago invites you to join us for a virtual convening on Public Education in Chicago During the Pandemic – Challenges for Fall 2020 to be held on August 3, 2020, from noon to 1 pm CT.
This forum is part of Project Hometown, a new initiative from the Chicago Fed that aims to foster discussion around the challenges and opportunities confronting hometowns in the Seventh District.
The pandemic forced a sudden transition to remote learning. Although students, parents, and educators are striving to adapt, the risk of massive and inequitable losses of learning still remains. And even before the pandemic, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) district, like many other school districts, was confronting challenges in educating all its students. Education leaders and stakeholders will discuss the challenges and opportunities confronting CPS and its students and how we might address them.
This forum, like other Project Hometown events, brings together civic leaders, expert researchers, and Chicago Fed staff to address civic issues from diverse perspectives and examine how places can recover from the pandemic, overcome longstanding inequities, and grow stronger.
