February 2013 ENGAGE Wrap-up

This month's ENGAGE breakfast explored the current landscape of education in Central Texas - from early childhood to higher education - and fostered a discussion about how our community can best address its problems, capitalize on its opportunities, and ensure positive results at all levels. The panel included Susan Dawson (E3 Alliance), Vincent Torres (AISD Board of Trustees), Denise Trauth (Texas State University), and Ed Vara (Education Service Center Region 13). KXAN-TV education reporter Erin Cargill moderated the discussion.
