Poverty and education

Data is just numbers. Behind those numbers are thousands of stories... On Tuesday, February 24th, you're invited to come hear these stories as we release Dallas County's third annual Community Achievement Scorecard. With the release of the scorecard, you'll get an up-close look at where our students currently stand and what obstacles remain when it comes to supporting each child from cradle to career. Although data can help us define the challenge and tell us where to focus, we're not here to admire the problem but to work collectively to solve it. Join the following guest speakers in attendance: Featured Speakers Mike Rawlings Mayor, City of Dallas Dale Petroskey President/CEO, Dallas Chamber Larry James CEO, CitySquare Michael Sorrell President, Paul Quinn College Miguel Solis Board President, Dallas ISD Todd Williams Executive Director, Commit! 2014 Community Achievement Scorecard Launch Event When: Tuesday February 24th from 4:30PM to 6:30PM Where: City Performance Hall 2520 Flora St., Dallas TX 75201 Please join us to celebrate the great progress of our students and learn about the many opportunities we have to support them as we strive to create a more equitable and prosperous community together. Sincerely, The Commit! Partnership
