Connections: Chris Cerf on possible answers for the Rochester City School District

The Rochester Beacon is hosting an event focused on exploring possible answers for the Rochester City School District. On Monday afternoon, they host panel discussions led by Mayor Lovely Warren, the RTA’s Adam Urbanski, ROC the Future’s Jackie Campbell, and more. And they welcome Chris Cerf, who has led schools in both New Jersey and New York City.

Our guests for the hour share their suggestions for the Rochester City School District:

  • Chris Cerf, former commissioner of education for the state of New Jersey, and former deputy chancellor of New York City public schools
  • Marty Walz, Rochester native and attorney who has experience in school receivership in Massachusetts
  • Kent Gardner, economist and opinion editor for the Rochester Beacon
