The Orleans Public Education Network will release a set of community recommendations on education reform today.

The report, titled The People’s Agenda, addresses several key topics, including recommendations for early childhood education, teacher recruitment and retention, and creating school and community partnerships. The report gives recommendations to government agencies, as well as to schools and concerned community members.

The organization will present the report at the Mahalia Jackson Early Learning and Family Center today at 5 p.m.

The report is the result of the network’s yearlong ONE STEP community-engagement campaign that invited community feedback on the above topics and six others through a set of forums.
