Matt Solomon is hosting Joyce Rankin from the State School Board to speak about the Science of Reading and its effect on elementary students in Colorado. This is an open meeting for parents and community members.

I would also like to ask if you could circulate the event or announce it so that we can offer ample notice to parents that would like to attend, learn, and be engaged with our State Education Leadership.
