Educated City Forum
The Educated City Forum took place on January 24, 2017 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the George W. Bush Presidential Center. The forum, presented with the George W. Bush Institute, featured Mayor Mike Rawlings and education professionals and advocates discussing the future of public education in Dallas.
