THIS FAMILY ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITY ALLOWS STUDENTS TO CONTINUE ACADEMIC AND SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SUCCESS WHILE IN DISTANCE LEARNING. 

Please join the Jay & Rose Phillips Family Foundation of Minnesota and Minneapolis Foundation in partnership with the School Transformation Collaborative as they host a virtual town hall with a panel of parents from Minneapolis and surrounding suburbs at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 22.

Prior to hosting this event, the Phillips and Minneapolis Foundations released a survey to highlight diverse families’ experiences in shifting to distance learning as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. District officials, teachers, principals, and state leaders are invited to attend this virtual town hall to unpack the survey results and hear concerns from Minnesota families.

R.T. Rybak, President & CEO of the Minneapolis Foundation, and Joel Luedtke, Program Director of the Phillips Family Foundation of Minnesota, will co-host the town hall. Tierney Carroll of the School Transformation Collaborative will moderate the parent experience panel.

Tierney Carroll, founder of the School Transformation Collaborative and other parents and family members from the Council of Families for the Future of Education-Twin Cities will share their experiences with distance learning and discuss the survey results during the virtual town hall.

Please visit minneapolisfoundation.org/reimagine-2/ to download a copy of the survey research brief and executive summary. If you have any questions related to the survey or the virtual town hall, please email Patrice Relerford at prelerford@mplsfoundation.org or Joel Luedtke at jluedtke@phillipsfamilymn.org.
