Recently, the Mississippi Department of Education cited Jackson Public Schools\u00a0for violating 22 of its 32 accreditation standards, including high school graduates not meeting state standards, numerous fights, late-running buses, unsafe buildings, unqualified teachers and a problem with disciplinary\u00a0decisions by principals. In Jackson communities, violent\u00a0crime is at 80 on a scale from 1 to 100. Property\u00a0crime is at 81. What role can parents and community members play to become change agents for our communities?\u00a0 This Town Hall will be an open\u00a0event\u00a0for parents to discuss with Jackson Public School officials, City Administrators, and Law Enforcement how to alleviate the issues of our school districts and communities.<\/p>\n<p>Join us on Thursday, November 10, 2016 at 6:00 pm at The Fannie Lou Hamer Institute @ COFO\u00a0 at 1017 John R.
