Since 2011, we have been collaborating in the areas of access, curriculum alignment, and data reporting. Through our community-wide commitment and thoughtful planning, we have developed a regional strategy for college completion and student success, The Central Ohio Compact. In 2012, our K-12 and higher education leaders proposed as a regional strategy the adoption of the Lumina Foundation’s goal of 60% degree attainment in Central Ohio by 2025. Then, at last spring’s summit, the Compact joined the Pathways to Prosperity Network to build a system of grades 9-14 career pathways in collaboration with employers and aligned with labor market demands. In a short period of time there has been significant progress towards the achievement of these goals.
