"Conversations on Race" events are scheduled for Tuesday, September 13, at the Charlotte Branch Library, 3557 Lake Avenue; and Wednesday, September 21, at the Phillis Wheatley Community Library, 33 Dr. Samuel McCree Way. "Conversations on Race with Poverty" events are scheduled for Tuesday, September 20, at the Charlotte Branch Library; and on Wednesday, September 28, at the Phillis Wheatley Community Library.

The Rochester school board will hold a public forum on School 1 at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, August 17, at the school, 85 Hillside Avenue. The purpose is to gather input from parents, teachers, students, and the community about plans for future improvements at the school.
