Tulare / Kings County P-16
Network for Student Success
What is the Network for Student Success?
The Network for Student Success is a Tulare and Kings County partnership of businesses, economic development and community organizations, parents, and education partners representing and facilitating P-16 education collaboration for the two county area.
The Network for Student Success is comprised of the chief executive officers of member organizations. Through their collaborative initiatives, the Network will develop projects and activities that enhance the teaching-and-learning experience for students from pre-school through college graduation. Projects will also assure teachers better prepare ALL students for success beyond high school.
The Network for Student Success is committed to producing an educated and skilled community and to the continued economic well-being and improved quality of life for all residents of Tulare and Kings County.
The Network for Student Success must have access to the levers that will cause dramatic changes in schools and colleges; therefore, the leadership of our school system and colleges must be involved in this P-16 network and deeply committed to the goal of success for all students. But educators can't do it alone; we will need community-wide support to make and sustain change. Strong civic and business leaders will be part of the P-16 Network from the beginning.
What are the functions of the Network and the responsibilities of individual members?
The network will provide for the
- Establishment of a regular meeting schedule for the CEOs of participating institutions and organizations in the network.
