“The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 allocates $90.9 billion to reform and modernize education,” noted Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) Senior Research Analyst, Dr. Ivory A. Toldson, “This is an unprecedented opportunity to chart a new course for Black males by making sure that education reform is consistent with evidence-based findings on Black male success factors.” The brain trust in DC is the first of a series of district-level forums designed to disseminate and operationalize the policy recommendations of the CBCF report, “Breaking Barriers: Plotting the Path to Academic Success for School-Age African-American Males.”
Space at the forum is limited. Those wishing to attend are urged to RSVP to Dr. Toldson at itoldson@cbcfinc.org.
