Bridging the Gaps in Education Webinar

Tuesday, March 29th | 12 PM | Zoom

Learn your rights and get the support you need to get your child's education back on track.

The Kinney Center is hosting a webinar in collaboration with Merrill Lynch to provide resources and information surrounding learning lost to the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond academics, COVID has also impacted our children’s mental health and social progress. COVID compensatory services are available, but can be difficult to navigate.

Our panel is here to help! Expert panelists will provide tips and tricks on how to advocate for your rights, navigate the ever-changing system, and where to best utilize your funds. A majority of the session will be devoted to answering your questions. We are here to help ensure your child gets the most of their public education. Registration is required.
