We can only improve what we examine. Looking at disaggregated data helps us all understand what we need to ensure all students gain access and receive the supports to be successful.

If these are our glory days as a community, what is our contribution going to be? Columbus State David Harrison moderated a discussion with The Columbus Region's Kenny McDonald and Columbus Foundation Douglas F. Kridler about a vision of the region's future at the #CompactSummit.

AS SEEN AT #CompactSummit: The Columbus Region's Kenny McDonald talked about inclusive economic development and how companies looking to set up operations want to know more than available space. They're interested in homelessness rates, work commutes and struggling schools, too.

When we look at sources of information about careers, the most helpful experienced for information are work based, but the most regularly accessed source is from informal social networks. How do we promote a shift for our students? @SuccessNetOH Great Lakes College & Career Pathways Partnership Jobs for the Future (JFF) Central Ohio Compact
