This was a wonderful meeting of members, legislators and community supporters with enthusiasm for all of our award recipients. The year’s activities of CPS were highlighted ~ legislation, monthly coalition forums, grassroots organizing, fall conference, letters to the editor, disseminating information, and screenings of the film “Children Left Behind.”
Awards were presented and recipients spoke of their experiences supporting public education.
