Distinguished Panel to Address NYS Education Policy in Port Washington

Five distinguished leaders are coming to Port Washington to share their diverse knowledge on education and to answer the question, “NYS Education Policy: How and by Whom Is It Set? Are Changes to the Current System Needed?”

Come hear their ideas and opinions, which should be informative and, hopefully, help answer some questions about the state’s education policy at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at Landmark on Main Street.

The League of Women Voters of Port Washington-Manhasset believe these questions are important discussion topics, given the significant interest and controversy currently surrounding K-12 education policy in New York State.

Leaders include:

• Susan Bergtraum –1st VP & Director of NYS School Boards Association
• Arnold Dodge, PhD – Associate Professor of Education and Chair of Educational Leadership & Administration Department at LIU Post
• NYS Senator George Latimer – Democrat Member of NYS Senate Education Committee
• NYS Assemblyman Dean Murray – Republican Member of NYS Assembly Education Committee
• Roger Tilles – Member of NYS Board of Regents

The program’s panelists bring to the table vast experience and multiple viewpoints. They all come from different spheres and have played different roles in the education process.

Landmark on Main Street is located at 232 Main Street, Port Washington. For additional information, contact Allison White at 516-944-7794 or alliwhite@gmail.com, or go to lwvofportwashingtonmanhasset.org.
