Houston Have Your Say is moderated by award winning producer, Patricia Gras.

In the public school systems of the greater Houston region there are growing concerns about the dropout rate, quality education, and funding. The Houston metropolitan region seeks to distinguish itself as one of the best places to live and work in the 21st century global community and education is an important factor in achieving that goal.
