The Georgia Chamber of Commerce and Georgia Economic Development Association found the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education.
The Partnership hosted its first Critical Issues Forum, establishing what has become one of the organization's signature programs.
The Partnership leveraged $30 million in state, private, and local matching funds to turn 51 local school systems into models of academic excellence. Each system participating in the Next Generation School Project succeeded in raising student achievement results.
