update for 2006
After eight years of bringing together hundreds of community, business, school, government and parent leaders to discuss relevant issues in public education, the Wake Education Summit ended with the 2005 event. The Summit, coordinated by Wake Education Partnership since 1998, helped garner community input and focus to goal-setting for public education in Wake County.
Following the 2005 Summit, many long-time participants and host organizations expressed an interest in reviewing the Summit process to ensure that the event still meets the needs of our community. To that end, Wake Education Partnership decided to discontinue the Summit and consider new ways to connect Wake County’s broad range of stakeholders with the education topics that impact them.
Feedback generated during the Summit has been shared over the years with school and elected leaders for their consideration in creating strategies to reach Goal 2008. Past recommendations have directly affected policy changes (including the adoption of Goal 2008) after the 2003 Summit, and the use of resources by community groups and the public schools. Each Summit has sharpened the strategic focus of agencies, businesses and the schools, while creating a climate of shared ownership for excellence and measurable results.
