Tonight: State, National Education Experts to Discuss Education Reform in Scottsdale after Screening of "Waiting for 'Superman'"

Event is sponsored by the American Federation for Children

SCOTTSDALE, AZ, October 14, 2010 -- The American Federation for Children will host a screening of the dramatic new documentary, "Waiting for 'Superman'" tonight in Scottsdale. A panel discussion featuring state and national education reform experts will take place immediately following the film.

The event will take place at 7 p.m. at the Camelview Harkins (7001 E Highland Avenue, Scottsdale, Arizona). Attendance is open to invited guests and to the media.

The film, which details the struggles that low-income families face in identifying the best schools for their children, has ignited a national discussion surrounding education reform and school choice.

The panel discussion after the film will focus on education reform in Arizona and across the country. Arizona Representative Debbie Lesko, Dr. Matthew Ladner of the Goldwater Institute and Nick Fleege from BASIS Schools, Inc. will participate; Elizabeth Dreckman from the American Federation for Children will moderate.

The American Federation for Children is a leading national organization advocating for school choice--including opportunity scholarships, scholarship tax credit programs and charter schools. Learn more online at www.FederationForChildren.org .
