The March 10 event will feature The Center's interactive "clicker" voting technology and will focus audience members on the kinds of long-term education policy choices 10,000 people have deliberated in nearly 500 statewide Community Conversations since fall 2007, including:
 
Performance: What is the return for Michigan's investments in pre-school, K-12, and higher education?
 
Funding & Affordability: How much should Michigan invest in pre-school, K-12, and higher education programs? What more can be done to assure affordable access to all levels of education?

Simon, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Mike Flanagan, Kalamazoo Valley Community College President Marilyn Schlack, American Federation of Teachers-Michigan President David Hecker, and University Prep Academy Superintendent Doug Ross, and Early Childhood Investment Corp.
