Webinar: The Accountability Myth with Dr. Michael McShane on Thursday, September 29 at 9:00 AM
Critics of school choice often argue that traditional public schools are held accountable, while private and alternative schools are not. Yet, as Dr. Michael McShane demonstrates in his report, The Accountability Myth, traditional public schools are not accountable financially, democratically, or academically.
Join Alaska Policy Forum and Dr. McShane for a 45-minute myth-busting discussion of how traditional public schools avoid accountability. After the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. The webinar will be held Thursday, September 29 at 9:00 AM Alaska time.
