Significant gaps in achievement and graduation rates exist for students of color and students with disabilities in the Jefferson County Public Schools.  Rebecca DiLoreto will discuss the role that school district policies such as discipline practices and alternative schools can play in either feeding, or diverting, the "school to prison pipeline."  She will talk about the work of the Children's Law Center protecting the rights of at-risk youth in Jefferson County - and the importance of community involvement if we hope to change our public schools for the benefit of all students.

Join us for some cake with Ken and Shiela Pyle who has hosted the TTL series at the Rud for 20 years!
