Panelists discuss impact of school closures
Wednesday, March 11, 2020 by Tai Moses
UT’s Institute for Urban Policy Research and Analysis and the UT Opportunity Forum are hosting a panel discussion about an issue that’s been top of mind for many Austinites: school closures. Austin ISD is one of many school districts that is in the process of closing or consolidating schools, which is “raising issues of equity and access, and questions about the impact on black and brown communities.” Lunch is provided at this free event, but seating is limited. Find a complete list of panelists and RSVP here. Friday, March 27, 11:45 a.m.-1:30 p.m., University of Texas School of Law, Francis Auditorium in Townes Hall, 727 E. Dean Keeton St.
