"CMSD has reached our exchange zone...as we look intentionally ahead, it is clear that now is the precisely right time to carefully plan for a successful handoff to the next leader of CMSD. It's time to pass the baton." – Eric Gordon

Join us for the annual tradition of hearing from CMSD CEO Eric S. Gordon, leader of the region's largest public school district — a district whose improvement many believe is key to the future success of our city and region.

The livestream will be available beginning at 12 p.m. Have questions? Tweet them at @TheCityClub or send a text to 330.541.5794.
