Education And Accurate Information Are LIGHT Producers.
This is a short blog in response to the Oct. 3, 2014 article in the New Haven Independent titled: Schools Chief Fields Brainteasers At “Night Out”
I commend the superintendent for making himself and other administrators available to parents and teachers in this interactive manner. It is helpful to the administration, and certainly to parents. By openly discussing issues by which various parents are challenged, and listening to the answers and suggestions being offered by teachers, administrators and other parents, this will help to prevent the same issues from recurring for other parents. At least it gives them insights into how to address similar issues and might even help to prevent them. It also helps the administration to identify where changes are needed so that effective and appropriate planning can be put in place.
This type of positive interaction and access also helps to prevent a building up of frustration on the part of some, and allows the senior education administrators and the Supt to get first-hand information about existing concerns. I am pleased to hear that this type of open, honest and respectful dialogue, listening and learning will continue in the NHPS district. At OneWorld we believe it is better to light candles of information than to curse the darkness in silence. Education and accurate information are LIGHT producers.

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact
LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing
With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant
LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
