Second Males of Color Forum to focus on teachers

BRIDGEPORT — Educators are being invited to a Males of Color Community forum to share their perspectives.

The event will be held at 5 p.m., Thursday, June 6, 2019 at Cesar Batalla School, 606 Howard Avenue.

An ad hoc committee of the city school board has been meeting for some time to discuss the challenges faced by young boys of color that lead to lower student achievement and higher suspension and drop out rates.

A year ago, the committee held a forum to hear the student’s perspective. In addition to inviting educators to the program, the committee will report out on its work and information collected.

The event is open and free to the public.
