WXXI HOSTS A LIVE, TELEVISED FORUM TO ADDRESS MAYORAL CONTROL OF
ROCHESTER CITY SCHOOLS
 
Rochester , New York (March 10, 2010) – As the debate over mayoral
control of the Rochester City Schools continues, the Center for
Governmental Research (CGR) is conducting a scientific poll to assess
the concerns Rochester city residents have regarding the issue. In
conjunction with the poll, WXXI will host a live, televised forum to
discuss CGR’s findings and examine all viewpoints. Point by Point: A
Forum of Mayoral Control will air Thursday, April 1 at 8 p.m. on
WXXI-TV (DT21.1/cable 1011 and 11). WXXI is partnering with City
Newspaper and WDKX-FM to provide viewers with in-depth information
and analysis throughout the broadcast.
 
Mayor Bob Duffy and Rochester City School District Board President
Malik Evans will meet at WXXI studios to answer questions from
panelists: Bob Smith, host of AM 1370’s 1370 Connection; Liz Medhin,
co-host of WDKX’s Wake Up Club; and Tim Louis Macaluso, education
writer for City Newspaper. Duffy and Evans will also take questions
from a studio audience of individuals who participated in the CGR
poll.
 
Analysis will be provided by Joseph P. Viteritti, PhD, chair of the
Hunter College Department of Urban Affairs and Planning. Dr.
Viteritti specializes in education policy, state & local governance,
and public law, and is editor of When Mayors Take Charge: School
Governance in the City. WXXI’s News Director Julie Philipp will
moderate the forum. 
 
Point by Point: A Forum of Mayoral Control will simulcast on AM 1370,
and will stream live on WXXI.org.
