4th STREET FORUM at MILWAUKEE TURNER HALL
WISCONSIN EDUCATION - TRIAGE TIME?
Wisconsin’s education budget has been cut dramatically. Will the changes force educational triage?
If so, what essential programs must be abandoned? And what will it all mean for Wisconsin kids?
Each forum is taped in front of a studio audience for later broadcast on Milwaukee Public Television, Channel 10.1. The forums are free and open to the public. Bring your lunch and a friend. Join the discussion by asking a question of the guests.
FORUM DATE AND TIME: September 22, NOON
WHERE: Milwaukee Turner Hall, 2nd Floor, 1034 N. 4th Street
Main entrance across from the Bradley Center on 4th (please pardon the construction); elevator access off the parking lot on 4th and Highland.
WITH HOST ENRIQUE FIGUEROA, PhD, Director, Roberto Hernández Center, UW-Milwaukee
AND WITH GUESTS -
