Education Outcomes

• Education workgroup did not want to proceed – no presentation of LLP education documents.

Parents want their kids to do well in school and have employment opportunities. Kids want high quality relationships in schools, smaller settings, challenging curriculum.
• Elena- Frank said integrate older youth outcome into other category.
• Jennie- Consider presenting another outcome on education and give compelling rationale. On Monday, try to bring education/safety/culture into other outcomes.

Next Steps
