At the same time, recent data showed that Oregon is the only state in the nation where students have fallen further behind after the influx of state and federal funds meant to help them catch up after the post-Covid emergency. Particularly stark were the widening test score gaps between wealthy school districts and those serving poorer, traditionally underserved students. Join a panel of experts for an essential conversation about the future of education funding in Oregon: Peyton Chapman, Principal of Lincoln High School Mark Hass, former Oregon State Senator Sarah Pope, Executive Director, Stand for Children Oregon Natalie Pate (moderator), K-12 Education Reporter and Producer at Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) Portland, OR — 1750 SW Salmon St false

CPC President Joseph Braude will share video and findings from his ongoing, daily contact with Gazans about public attitudes toward the war, Israel, and Gaza’s future. CPC founder Joseph Braude is an expert on the nexus of culture and politics in Arab societies and an active presence in the region’s media and policy debates. He studied Near Eastern languages at Yale and Arabic and Islamic history at Princeton. He is the author of five books, including Reclamation: A Cultural Policy for Arab-Israeli Partnership (The Washington Institute, 2019). false
