Our Work: Hot Lunch
Public education is in the grips of change. Innovative ideas and new practices are emerging nationwide. But what is the relationship between good policy and good practice?
The Donnell-Kay and Piton Foundations proudly present "Hot Lunch", a lunch-time discussion series designed to engage Colorado business, policy and education leaders in conversation on the current challenges and promising practices in education today.
Please join us each month as nationally recognized guests present ideas on current issues in education, followed by a facilitated open discussion and hopefully bring about positive change for Colorado's public education system.
Presentations will center on challenges that face education today and the relationship between policy and practice. Participants will join guest speakers in looking closely at each issue to determine its effect on Colorado schools.
