Lansing, MI multi-media partnership to improve education

Planning

The City of Lansing is proposing an innovative partnership with the Lansing School District, WKAR Public Media, and the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) to reverse the learning loss students face due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposal involves creating an online education platform, in-person opportunities, and other resources targeting the pre-kindergarten through third-grade population. The proposal earned Lansing a spot as a finalist in the 2021 Global Mayors Challenge.
