California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley
The K-12 Education work group (one of ten work-groups in the Governor’s Partnership) is charged with implementing policies and partnerships to ensure equal access to educational opportunities and resources that will improve academic performance for all children. The K-12 Education work group is formed by Eight County Superintendents (Kern to San Joaquin) and public and private sector working together to bring strategic
