Students Take Charge of Their Education

When Mayor Justin Bibb of Cleveland wanted to increase voter participation in local elections, he turned to local students. He was impressed by their evidence-based solutions and the depth of their thought and research. Listen to Mayor Bibb’s thoughts on the importance of getting young people involved in local government and the ways this new approach to education is key to developing the next generation of leaders.

 “I believe this is the type of innovation we need to really close the achievement gap and get the systemic change we need across public education in the country.”

-Mayor Justin Bibb, City of Cleveland
