New Year, new P-16 council

Happy New Year! ECS' P-16/P-20 councils database will be updated soon to include the nation's newest P-16 council, Vermont's PreK-16 Council.

The council, established by 2010 H.B. 709, incorporates some of ECS' hallmarks of a well-established P-16/P-20 coordinating entity, such as: including an explicit early-learning member, legislators, and business representatives; meeting at least quarterly; securing some funds to support council efforts; and setting a numeric P-16/P-20 performance goal (that at least 60% of the state's adult population will have earned an associate's degree or higher by 2020).
