SUMMARY:Lessons from a Storm: Public Ed and Hurricane Harvey
DESCRIPTION:After seeing their cities flooded and homes destroyed in Hurricane Harvey\, Texas teachers and students spent the rest of the academic year struggling to get back to baseline\, working through the negative academic and mental health effects of one of the worst natural disasters in the state’s history. How are teachers and students focusing on classroom demands while continuing to pick up the pieces of their lives? \nJoin The Texas Tribune in person or on our livestream for a conversation about the impact Hurricane Harvey had on public education in Houston and across Texas moderated by the Tribune’s public education reporter Aliyya Swaby. \nOur panelists include: \n– Rhonda Howard\, social worker at Houston ISD’s T.H. Rogers School\n– Jennifer Mann\, principal at Wharton ISD’s Wharton Elementary School\n– Anh-Minh Nguyen\, graduating senior at Alief ISD’s Alief Early College High School\n– Tiffany Robinson\, secondary science instructional specialist at Alief ISD’s Elsik Ninth Grade Center \nThe event is free\, open to the public and includes a light lunch. \nThis event is supported by CenterPoint Energy\, the Texas Association of School Business Officials\, Texas State Technical College and Southwest Airlines\, the official airline of Texas Tribune Events\, and hosted by Houston Community College. Foundation support is provided by the Houston Endowment\, the Burdine Johnson Foundation\, the Meadows Foundation and the Sid Richardson Foundation.  \nThough donors and corporate sponsors underwrite our events\, they play no role in determining the content\, panelists or line of questioning.

SUMMARY:Transforming Our Juvenile Justice System
DESCRIPTION:A Right2Justice conversation on transforming our juvenile justice system. This is a system that for far too long has criminalized  and dehumanized young people of color\, instead of providing them with the support and resources they need to get back into public life and enter the workforce. At this event\, we’ll be having discussions on what a reformed juvenile justice system looks like. Access and share the Facebook event here. For more information\, contact Dieter Cantu\, (210) 273-4062\, dcantu@organizetexas.org.

SUMMARY:Can Public Policy Control Rising Drug Prices?
DESCRIPTION:Prescription drug expenditures are projected to reach $360.2 billion in 2018. Per capita spending on these drugs rose 5 percent in 2015 and 3.5 percent in 2016. The public is outraged by stories of Martin Shkreli raising the price of Daraprim by 5\,000 percent\, and Mylan raising the price of a pair of EpiPens by 400 percent. Meanwhile\, the cost of treatment with the most novel anticancer drugs has risen by 400 percent over the past 10 years\, and the cost of treatment with new drugs that can cure Hepatitis C is tens of thousands of dollars. Will the prices of prescription drugs continue to rise at extraordinary rates? Are a handful of blockbuster drugs to blame\, or will all patients be forced to pay rapidly rising prices? At this event\, Vivian Ho\, director of the Baker Institute Center for Health and Biosciences\, will explore these questions and describe the policy options to control drug price increases being recommended by policymakers\, researchers and clinicians. \nFollow @BakerInstitute on Twitter and join the conversation online with #BakerHealth.
