Hot Lunch
The Donnell-Kay and Piton Foundations proudly present the fifth season of
"Hot Lunch," a lunchtime discussion series designed to engage Colorado
education, policy and business leaders in conversation about the current
challenges and promising practices in education today.
Presentations will center on challenges that face education today and the
relationship between policy and practice. Participants and the guest speakers
will look closely at each issue to determine its effect on Colorado schools.
Please join us each month as nationally recognized guests present ideas on
current issues in education, followed by a facilitated open discussion.
