Education Community Impact Update

Last week, the Education Community Impact Council met for the first time. The community impact councils are small groups of influential people in the field. So, for the education council, there were representatives from early education, the public schools, Indian education, higher education, and youth services. The group talked about many topics, but the main focus was looking at indicators in education and how to measure them. Currently, there is a lot of data out there. It is just a matter of putting it all together. The group was very enthusiastic and willing to meet in about a month to continue the discussion. The council members were asked to think about the current local efforts and how these efforts are working to achieve positive change in Education. This is just a first step by United Way to help facilitate change in Education to help improve the lives of everyone in Great Falls. Soon this conversation will continue, so watch for more updates.
