Keith Carson: Information is Power!

Pre–K students are expelled at a rate more than three times that of children in grades K–12, according to Yale University’s, Walter Gilliam, study, “Pre–kindergartners Left Behind: Expulsion Rates in State Prekindergarten Systems.” Keith Carson moderates a discussion about the ways Alameda County early education programs are addressing the issue of Pre-K expulsion.
