The Kentucky Society for Clinical Social Work and the Children's Law Center have united in hopes of encouraging all of us to have a bigger presence in our schools and a greater knowledge of programs and policies that affect our children's educations.
To get the school year started off right, the two groups are hosting a free showing of Waiting for Superman, a documentary by director Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) that follows five students in as many states as they try to win a lottery that would allow them to attend charter schools and avoid neighborhood schools with high dropout rates.
What:Free showing of Waiting for Superman and panel discussion: "How social workers and all community members can be advocates for our public schools."
When: 6-9 p.m. Aug. 25.
Where: Lexington Public Library, 140 East Main St.
