The Education Enterprise Steering Committee was formed to partner with K-12 school districts, ESDs, community colleges, universities, the Oregon Department of Education and the Governor's Office. One of our efforts this year is to improve communication among the partner members, in part with this monthly "highlight" report. Here are highlights from the Jan. 8 meeting at Willamette ESD; all of the documents reviewed are available from the attachment list below.
