Our coffee and conversations are in the Broadway Armory dining room and start at 9 a.m. Meet up with us there for lively exploration of each week’s topics.

Moderators will facilitate the discussion as the group explores interesting and sometimes controversial topics. Each week’s discussion is typically accompanied by some readings you’ll receive in advance via email. Topics for the subsequent week are decided at the previous discussion.

The topics for today are:

1. Presidential Election:  Has anything since our last meeting “moved the needle” in the electoral race to the White House?  Any significant developments since last meeting that have not received proper attention?  

2. Chicago Public Schools and the School Board:  What is proper direction for Chicago schools? What should be changed, what should be retained that is currently be questioned?  Whom should we most trust: The Mayor, the City Council, the current CEO or the to-be-elected school board?   

Light refreshments will be served. 

If you are interested in participating in our discussions but are not on our distribution list, send an email to John Williams and we will add you to the list.
