If we want to make real progress toward true racial justice, we have to rethink our public education system.
Check this out from @StandTogether & @Dyrnwyn on how they're convening a diverse coalition to start the conversation on doing just that.
@elviadiaz1@mcccd@MariaHMarinick has diligently & fearlessly advocated for the success of students & the institution. Her tactics might not be showy and public but no one fights harder for the well-being of MCCCD. Her leadership is effective and needed in this time of transformation. #EmpowerMHM
Thank you @StateFarm@HeliosEdFnd @gatesed and @gatesfoundation for your support of the #NALEOEd Policy Institute on Workforce Development. Great start here in Tucson addressing the economic success of Latinos in the future workforce and how education matters. #innovation#skills
A giant. An icon. An American hero. God bless @SenJohnMcCain. He will never be forgotten.
My full statement on the life of an incredible man we were blessed to call a fellow Arizonan:

"With scores of companies in the Valley clamoring for a significantly upgraded workforce, @mcccd could be a gateway to get Arizona to its stated goal of having 60 percent of the workforce with degrees or advanced certifications by 2030." -@phxbizjournal https://t.co/pRwaFySNty
Grant funding from @HeliosEdFnd has allowed the Maricopa Community Colleges Reverse Transfer Program to align with university partners @ASU, @NAU, @UofA, and @gcu to award more than 800 students associates degrees and certificates. https://t.co/qdCk6RPfEg
The Index of State Economic Growth ranked Arizona as the 5th fastest growing state for economic momentum. By working to ensure we meet the educational attainment goal, we can ensure Arizona stays on a path to prosperity. https://t.co/FRUcwIppt8 #Go60AZ
Job opportunities in Arizona continue to increase! We have to increase the number of adults with certificates or degrees to ensure Arizonans are qualified for the types of jobs available and to continue strengthening our economy. https://t.co/ZtudKHaywp #Go60AZ
