Afterschool Part of National Task Force on Education Policy Reform

In the latest issue of the Afterschool Alliance's newsletter, it featured some exciting information about a national task force that is calling for "A Broad, BOLDER Approach to Education Policy". The task force is convened by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) and afterschool is one of the "pillars of education" they believe is central to improving the educational lives of low-income children.

Boston's former School Superintendent, Tom Payzant is one of the Co-Chairs of this effort.
