KANSAS CITY, Mo.
-- Senior Pastor, Rev. Michael Brooks,
Zion Grove Missionary Baptist Church,
The Metropolitan Organization for Racial and Economic Equity
(MORE2),
has formed an Education Task Force to address the challenges
of public education in the metro area.
The "Gilead Table" has been created to gather key members of
the community that will be able to influence changes in four
key areas: early intervention, community involvement,
legislation, and alternatives for re-engagement. Many of the
big school districts' Superintendents and Board Presidents
have agreed to serve on this Table (including Anthony
Amato). Also community leaders from LINC, the Urban League
and the Kauffman Scholars will be joining this effort.
Goals include reducing the dropout rate, community
involvement, legislative solutions and engagement for those
who dropped out.
There is stil room for educational professionals to join the
board.
The next meeting for the Gilead Table on February 5 from 4 -
6 p.m. |
