Wednesday, June 5, 2024 - 7:00pm to 8:30pm

Join our education experts to explore the facts and the issues around education content and decisions. Our panelists will speak to federal, state, and local “rules,” parental notification & participation, sensitive topics (sex, race, gender, pronouns, etc.), ethnic studies, civics, climate change, and more.

Our expert panelists include:

  • J. Manuel Herrera -  of the East San Jose Union Board of Education
  • Jennifer DiBrienza - of the Palo Alto Unified School Board
  • Graham Clark - Superintendent Fremont Union High School District 

Our goal is to provide information about how curriculum is determined and taught, who controls the process, and potential improvements.

Our panelists will have a conversation around topics like:

  • What curriculum topics are people concerned about – and why?
  • As a democratic society, how should we approach these topics?
  • Who are the final arbiters of content being taught
  • What role should parents have in determining content
