Submitted by Kevin Derby on October 7, 2014 - 8:59am

With buzz continuing about a presidential bid in 2016, former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., now the chairman of the Foundation for Excellence in Education, will head to Washington, D.C., next month to host the 2014 National Summit on Education Reform.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the historic Brown v. Board of Education decision, Bush said on Monday. Yet, the fight for a quality education for all students continues today. Education in America remains a system where far too many students remain stuck in failing schools.

We need a system driven from the bottom-up by families, a system that is organized around the individual success of each and every student, Bush added. We need a system that recognizes and rewards incredible teachers, and ensures they are in classrooms with students who most need their skills. These are some of the most critical challenges in education today, and they are the conversations we will have at our 2014 National Summit on Education Reform.

Bush will keynote the event which will be held from Nov. 20-21.
