It’s hard to attract a lot of folks to an event on a Monday night, in the rain, to discuss education finance. But this Monday night almost 200 people attended the Educate Me! event we held at Mustang Hall. Hosted by Educate Our State, a parent-led advocacy group, the night was about making [...]

It was a complex problem and an involved process, but [...]
