Charter Schools in Virginia: Panel Discussion and Public Forum
Thursday, December 9th, 6pm to 8pm
VCU student Commons 907 Floyd Avenue Richmond Salon I
Sponsored by Teachers for Social Justice in conjunction with Richmond REA and VCU’s Department of Foundations of Education

While at both the national and state level the charter school movement is gaining momentum, there is heated debate about the effectiveness of charter schools and the long term impact of this reform movement on public education. The goal of this forum is to bring together a panel of speakers representing a diversity of well-informed perspectives on this issue to present their views, engage in a productive dialogue, and answer questions from the public. The hope is that this forum leads to a better understanding of the careful steps we must take as we move forward to improve the quality of education in our state.

Confirmed Panelists
Kitty Boitnott, president of the Virginia Education Association
Senator Henry Marsh, representing Virginia’s 16th district
Maurice Henderson, 5th District Richmond School Board Representative
Jesse Senechal, Teachers for Social Justice
A representative of Patrick Henry Charter School
