         Maryland has a once in a generation opportunity to dramatically change its public
         education system from birth to college and career.  The State Commission on
         Innovation and Excellence in Education (The Kirwan Commission - led by former
         Maryland University System Chancellor Brit Kirwan) was charged with assessing
         what it would take to create a world class education system needed to ensure that
         every student has the opportunity to succeed.  The Commission produced a bold
         report.  Come hear Dr. Kirwan address the five policy initiatives in the report.  Former
         Maryland State Superintendent of Schools Dr. David Hornbeck will address what it
         will take to fully implement the Kirwan Commission Report.  An audience “Question
         and Answer” opportunity will follow the presentations.
