Questions About the Forum

Where Can I Read the Agenda?
The forum is an informal gathering of students of color and their families to dialogue about their school experiences. There is no formal agenda.

Who Will Speak at the Forum?
The emphasis will be on hearing the students themselves speak about their experiences and perceptions. Family members may offer their comments as well. We will have a facilitator to moderate the discussion.

Is the Forum Just for Parents?
No! The forum is open to students and all family members. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, and guardians are all welcome.

I Am Not a Person of Color, but My Student Is. Should I Attend?
Absolutely! All family members are welcome and encouraged to attend.

How Long Will the Forum Be?
The forum is scheduled for 2 hours -- 1:30 to 3:30 pm. We will be available after this time for anyone who would like to exchange contact information.

What About Elementary School Students?
We are currently focusing on high school and middle school students. This may change in the future, depending on interest level and resources.
