Conversation 2007 is an opportunity for all Coloradans to help shape the future of
Colorado education  – preschool through graduate school – by engaging in a series of guided conversations with other members of your local community and your elected representatives. Through a partnership with Members of the Colorado General Assembly and a coalition of public, private and non-profit leaders, a series of frank and open conversations about preschool through graduate education will occur throughout the summer and fall of 2007.  The results of these conversations will be available on an ongoing basis on a dedicated website, and ultimately compiled into a comprehensive report that will be presented to the Governor’s P-20 Education Coordinating Council in fall of 2007.
