Reimagining the Community Quarterback Organization in Education: A Partnership Model for School Redesign

Room: Grand 6

This session will showcase Lift Orlando’s journey into school governance and its partnership with Transcend Education to develop a community-driven school redesign at Orange Center Elementary School. As part of the session, we will share the value of a school redesign project, the Community Quarterback Organization’s role in launching it, and evidence of the early planning stages of this specific project. We hope that participants leave this session asking, “What steps should we take to partner with our local schools at this level?”
