Purpose
Coalition Focus
ABEC is a long-term effort designed to:
increase the trust between the business and education communities; acknowledge their synergies and symbiotic relationship; develop respect and understanding for each others needs, missions, and methodologies; be a credible source for education-related data and their interpretation; and provide a common voice for education in the state.
Initial Coalition Issues
ABEC supported the principles behind Arizona LEARNS and plans to become a part of implementation planning. ABEC members have agreed to support the principles of the Governor’s Task Force efforts on accountability dealing with the K-3 reading initiative. ABEC is also committed to the resolution of concerns regarding implementation of this program.
