The Council on Youth, Education and Families (YEF Council) has invited Bryant Mayor Jill Dabbs to join the Mayors’ Education Task Force meeting on Monday, March 13th, during the Congressional City Conference in Washington, D.C. The event will be hosted by Secretary Betsy DeVos at the U.S. Department of Education.
This meeting will provide mayors the opportunity to discuss the new Administration’s education agenda and identify potential areas of city-federal alignment related to education and workforce issues. The task force is a table only for Mayors, providing a unique peer environment to discuss educational and workforce city-level strategies that are making a difference for children and families.
“I look forward to this opportunity to represent the individuals and families of bryant at this important education and training conference,” said Mayor Dabbs “PreK-12 education and workforce training are important to the growth and quality of life in Bryant and in Arkansas. I believe our perspective on the issues will be valuable to the federal government.”
