State board to hold forum at NIC

The State Board of Education and the Idaho Business Coalition for Education Excellence will hold a community forum April 4 from 6-7 p.m. in the Meyer Health and Sciences Building on the campus of North Idaho College.

The forum will provide information and seek input on the State Board’s Complete College Idaho Plan.

This plan is a roadmap to reach the goal of helping 60 percent of our citizens between the ages of 25 and 34 earn a postsecondary degree or certificate by 2020. This goal requires increasing the number of students choosing some form of postsecondary education.

Community input, ideas and suggestions gathered at the forum will be used to create an Idaho College Access Network to assist students in pursuing the right postsecondary opportunities.

The network will provide resources for students and families along with strategies to get more high school graduates into college, universities and professional technical programs.

More information about the Complete College Idaho Plan is available at www.boardofed.idaho.gov/cci.asp .
