This document consists of five reports on forums held in the spring of 1977 on social and educational problems in New York City. Topics of discussion included: (1) what is right and wrong with our public and private secondary educational system in New York City; (2) fiscal resources and New York City's capacity to provide necessary human services to the poor, minorities, and other citizens of the city; (3) the urban crisis (crime); (4) the public school system and the poor of New York City; and (5) the crisis in education. At each forum a number of panelists, both clergy and lay persons, spoke about their areas of experience in public and parochial education and the social services, particularly among the poor people of the city. Their discussion on crucial social problems and recommendations for ways the government and the schools could address these problems are summarized in the reports. (Author/GC)
