Transforming Houston's Future: Addressing School Funding Gaps
Wednesday, December 4, 2024 | 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM

Join the American Leadership Forum (ALF), the Kinder Institute for Urban Research, and the University of Houston Downtown for a pivotal discussion on how we can re-ignite efforts to transform Houston's future by addressing critical funding gaps in Texas school districts.

Learn how collaborative action can help secure the $9.3 billion needed to address these gaps, ensuring every student in Texas, including those in HISD, has access to quality education.

Key Topics:

• Current funding disparities in Texas school districts.
• The impact on TEA ratings and student success.
