Submitted by George Mastoras on Friday, January 25, 2013 - 10:02.
Last night, NCTL’s co-founders, Chris Gabrieli and Jennifer Davis, along with Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll and Salem Superintendent of Schools Stephen Russell, spoke at community meeting as the city begins to explore expanding the school day in more of Salem's schools.
At the meeting, Chris and Jennifer shared the successes they have experienced in working with hundreds of schools across Massachusetts and the United States that have redesigned and expanded their school schedule to better meet the needs of students and communities. After the presentation, parents and teachers were given the opportunity to ask questions about expanding the school day. You can access the presentation here and videos below.
