Dr. Douglas Gerwin, Director of the Center for Anthroposophy, speaks at the Lake Champlain Waldorf School's Life of the Child Conference 2012 on the teenage brain and strategies for supporting adolescent learning.

Neighborhood Planning Assemblies (NPAs) are grassroots, neighborhood organizations that were established in each of Burlington's seven Wards to encourage citizen participation in City government. Working as neighborhood advocacy groups, Neighborhood Planning Assemblies help improve communication between the citizens of Burlington and City government through regular meetings scheduled in each Ward. Ward 6 meets the first Thursday of the month. Meeting place: Greek Orthodox Church 600 South Willard Street.

The event will be an opportunity for the Burlington community to join with Burlington School District board members, teachers, staff, and administrators to reflect on the recent Task Force Report on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and offer suggestions to the School Board in the development of a District-wide strategic plan on diversity and equity. The Task Force Report can be downloaded at: http://www.bsdvt.org/diversity/taskforce/BSD_Task_Force_Report_2011.pdf Questions may be directed to Dr. Dan Balón, Director of Diversity & Equity, at 802-864-8494 or diversity@bsdvt.org or Paul Hochanadel, School Board Member and Chair of Diversity & Equity Committee at phochanadel@bsdvt.org
