2000 Initiatives
Education
Initiative
Goal:
- Assist our Citizenry to Reach
World-Class Standards of Knowledge.
Objectives:
- A world-class educational
"system" in Mathews County by the year 2026;
- Ensure that the Mathews school "system(s)" will be globally
competitive in student outcomes by raising expectations from students
and reengineering the system;
- Infuse the entrepreneurial spirit within the educational system and
among students with that aptitude;
- Ensure that local Colleges and Universities recognize their
opportunity and responsibility for a broad range of involvement in
economic development and in preparing graduates for business and
industry.
Assignments:
- Produce a professional, typed
report, including citations to information sources, if relevant, which
explains the long term education options for Mathews and our region
through the theoretical development of the Mathews Educational System of
2026, and which develops a plan, including a timetable and specific
recommendations, for the development of a world-class education system
for the people of Mathews County, Virginia. Concentration should be on
studying successful techniques being employed in other communities
around the world, and how those techniques can be employed in Mathews.
The results of this study will be presented to our Education leaders,
Government, and the Public;
- Form the Young Entrepreneurs Initiative, in partnership
with the Mathews Public School System and Rappahannock Community College. The Initiative’s
goals will include exciting young people to entrepreneurial opportunity
in Mathews, and infusing the Entrepreneurial Spirit and Mindset into
Mathews youth and citizenry. The Initiative should include
a Speaker’s Bureau with an ad hoc volunteer membership of
community and regional business and professional leaders, who speak to
young people about their fields of expertise and about the world of
entrepreneurial opportunity in Mathews;
- Work aggressively to promote innovative educational opportunities for
the people of Mathews.
