Why should we care?
SCS’s ability to provide a quality, equitable education is being undercut by high teacher turnover and year-long teaching vacancies, as well as significant maintenance deficiencies within the schools, all of which leads to higher financial, educational, and health costs. A lack of access to wraparound services provided by qualified social workers, psychologists, and nurses inhibits the successful treatment of trauma or Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE). Abuse, neglect, and trauma significantly increase the likelihood of suspensions, juvenile criminal behavior, and incarceration. With a median age four years below the national average, Memphis’s population can support economic development, but only if we provide children in our community access to opportunities and support.

About the Event
For our October meeting, we'll hear updates from our power interviews in September, wins and next steps from MICAH’s three task forces, and to evaluate our annual public meeting.
Partners are required to send at least one delegate to represent their organization but the meeting is open to all who are interested in MICAH's work!
*** Because the second Tuesday in October falls on the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur, we are changing the day of our MICAH meeting this month only to the first Monday of the month ***
