Education, Expectations and Incarceration:
A look at how resegregation, high-stakes testing and the school-to-prison pipeline marginalize our children
The NC NAACP is holding the 5th Annual Romallus O. Murphy CLE on October 12, 2011 in High Point from 11:30am to 5:00pm. This pre-convention activity is geared towards attorneys and other legal professionals, however legal redress and education chairs from local NAACP branches may find the program interesting and informative as well. The program will focus on issues in education that are forces in derailing the public education system. The CLE will be made up of four panels discussing resegregation, high-stakes testing, the school-to-prison pipeline and strategies for being a part of the solution. Experts from around the state, including attorneys, professors, and school board members, will be gathering to discuss these important issues.
Attached is a flyer, registration form, attorney referral list sign-up form, and NAACP membership form. We ask you distribute this information to local attorneys, especially those who work in civil rights or education. If the attorney is unable to join us but would still like to assist the NAACP with our important civil rights and social justice work, please ask them to consider signing up to be on our attorney referral list or join the NAACP, if they are not already a member.
