In the fall of 2017, Quadrant engagements were facilitated in conjunction with the City of Rochester Office of Innovation. Overall, the discussions at each quadrant session were engaging, full of candor, and straightforward. Essential themes arose out of the community engagements.
The community engagement events highlighted some key issues within the organization, but more poignantly, feedback strongly suggested a community that is eager for targeted change that will support quality educational opportunities for all children.
