Dan Lawler and I participated in a presentation/panel discussion called, "Inclusive Schools and Education Equity" in which the following questions were posed:

1. What does it mean to be a welcoming school district within the constraints of segregated housing patterns? 
2. What can suburban residents do to effect change in a metropolitan system that sanctions separate and unequal educational opportunities? 
3. Does diversity in schools create a net gain for all?

GUEST PANELISTS:

• Dan Lawler and Spiro Bolos, New Trier's Metropolitan Community Project
• Steve Bogira, The Chicago Reader
• Kourtney Cockrell, Student Enrichment Services at Northwestern University
