Though her oldest son hasn’t even started kindergarten, Tiffanie Robinson and her husband wanted to have a conversation with friends about public education in Chattanooga.
The couple decided to fill their living room with about 15 people, all young parents from across the city, and over a dinner of fried chicken and beer, the group began talking about issues facing schools here.
“People brought so many different perspectives,” Robinson said. “As people were talking, you can see eyes open as people hear about problems and potential solutions for schools.”
Robinson said she felt equipped to facilitate the discussion thanks to the recently released Chattanooga 2.0 report and a toolkit provided by a local nonprofit agency, Causeway, that makes understanding and conveying the information in the report simple.
