Education reform talks on tap in Madison

Wisconsin State Journal:

It’s a big week ahead, and the start of a big month, for potentially reshaping the future of our public schools.
Two public events this week have been organized by the Urban League of Greater Madison, the Madison School District, the United Way of Dane County and a community education reform effort called Planning for Greatness. First is an education forum and small group discussion Thursday afternoon, followed by a broader innovation summit on Friday.
Meanwhile, December starts the application period for families at Sennett and Toki middle schools in Madison who wish to participate in the Scholars Academy program being advanced by the Urban League and the Madison district.
