Did you know that Oakland has one of the highest high school dropout rates in the state of California? Come share your opinions and best practices at the KQED Teacher Town Hall, which will be moderated by NPR's Snap Judgment host Glynn Washington.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), in partnership with America's Promise Alliance and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has launched American Graduate: Let's Make It Happen -- a national initiative to help combat the dropout crisis in this country. As part of American Graduate, KQED will address this issue by working with local schools, businesses and community organizations to raise awareness of the crisis and its impact on our communities.
