[WardFive] Just in case you missed it

Last night's Mayoral Candidate Education Forum was a HUGE success!  We, along with a host of dedicated community organizations (listed below), sponsored an engaging forum focused on education that was not only well attended but also allowed us to hear from each of the mayoral candidates on their education platform. If you were not able to make it never fear!  The education forum from last evening is online for you to watch: http://www.dceducationelection.org

 

In addition to last nights forum, the mayoral candidates were asked to fill out a education questionnaire. All three mayoral candidates completed the questionnaire and you can read their responses at http://www.dceducationelection.org/mayoral-candidates-on-education/.
