"Summer Learning in Springfield: Bridging Opportunity Gaps"
We hope you will join us as we learn about the impact of summer learning in Springfield and why it matters. We will examine how the pandemic exacerbated existing learning gaps nationally and within District 186 as seen in the Illinois Report Card scores. Finally, we will examine a case study of the Camp Compass program and seek solutions from the community as to how we can improve the education of all our children going forward.
