Center for Urban Educational Studies Professional Development Session


On Thursday, October 16, 2003 from 12:00 – 1:00 in Room: 5269, Ms. Maria Behncke, Finger Lakes Regional Coordinator for The Alliance for Quality Education will present Secondary School Funding: The Impact in Rochester.  The Alliance for Quality Education is a statewide, privately funded, non-profit coalition that advocates for quality education for New York's children.  A key factor in ensuring a quality education is the fair and equitable allocation of resources.  A recent decision by the State's highest court ordered the Legislature to reform the current school funding formula to give all children an "opportunity for a meaningful high school education".  AQE is gathering local support to ensure that a reformed formula is clear, stable and needs-based and meets the needs of all children in the Rochester region.

The presentation is open to the entire MCC community.  Please join us.

Next Thursday, October 23, 2003 from 12:00-1:00, Mr. Ralph Spezio of the University of Rochester Medical Center will present Project Believe: Making Rochester the Healthiest City.
