Kent County Town Hall Video
The Kent County Save Our Schools town hall in May 2023 featured the following speakers in this order:
- Academic Scores in Delaware: Dr. Tanya Hettler, Caesar Rodney Institute
- Parental Rights & Involvement: Dr. Elana Fishbein, No Left Turn in Education
- School Safety: Dr. Beth Conaway, retired principal and educator
- Teacher Shortages: Celeste Bunting, Indian River School District
- School board candidates who attended the town hall were given an opportunity to introduce themselves.
Where are the parents in this fight for their children's education?
Dr. Elana Fishbein, founder of No Left Turn in Education, asks during the town halls: what happened to all the parents who would jump in front of a bus for their children?
Why are they afraid to publicly stand up for their kids? C4DS would like to understand it better. Feel free to submit your feedback below.
(2:14 minutes)
We now have a You Tube channel where you can watch other video clips from the town halls.
