<strong>PEER* - A Pueblo Educational & Economic Renaissance</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:right;">
A proposal the 2010 Education Task Force</p>
<p><b>The Vision</b>:
 • Pueblo’s youth expect and plan for hopeful futures: they make wise life choices, finish school, delay parenthood reasonably, forego short-cut chemical ‘highs.’ In short: they feel able to create fulfilling and prosperous futures for themselves and their families.
 • Pueblo’s high-quality education and work opportunities retain its best students in Pueblo and attract gifted, well-educated, and ambitious graduates from around the U.S.
 • Quality employers choose to move businesses to (or to start them in) Pueblo County.
 • Pueblo’s new industries provide careers of the future (e.g., health, mental health, technology, information systems, communications, multi-lingual), bolstering our tax base.
 </p>
<p><strong>Preliminary Roadmap to the Vision</strong>:*
The educational work and achievement of each student graduating from a Pueblo City or County school is rewarded with 100% of tuition/fees for post-secondary education/training: up to four years at Colorado Public Universities and/or Community Colleges.
 </p>
<p>On March 13, 2008, the Pueblo 2010 Commission adopted the following:
That 2010 Commission establish an ad hoc PEER* Task Force comprised of the necessary stakeholders and advocates and — launching from the preliminary vision statement above — design a Pueblo Educational & Economic Renaissance* program consistent with the circumstances and needs of Pueblo communities.
________________
*The working titles and terms used here - and even the vision itself - will be finalized by ad hoc Task Force as it meets.
