Past Conferences
We plan and host meetings that have impact on the future of the environment and our community.
Tuesday, August 15, 2017
Sponsors:
RAMAC and Racine Unified School District
Goals:
In December 2013, Dr. Lolli Haws presented the Racine Unified School District three-year plan titled Raising Racine. That plan led to progress and successful initiatives now underway in our schools. Much collaborative work has been done and this fall 2017, RUSD will roll out a new five-year strategic plan: Raising Racine 2022. At the same time, partners have come together to make a collective impact on educational outcomes in Racine and to ensure our students graduate prepared for the jobs right here in our community. At this Breakfast Briefing, community leaders will have an opportunity to learn about District progress thus far, goals in the new strategic plan and work underway to develop a Racine County education master plan. Participants will be able to ask questions of Dr. Haws, RUSD School Board president Bob Wittke and community partners.
