Based on our shared community vision and our local data, existing stakeholder organizations can confidently invest their resources into the practices and strategies that truly work for kids. While this is important, it may not be enough to fully impact our educational outcomes at the levels we seek. Therefore, partner organizations must also make this investment in the context of what the other partners bring to the effort. This requires partners to acknowledge duplications and gaps in services, across the entire cradle through career spectrum that inhibit our progress and then take collaborative strategic action to rectify them.
