Cities, school boards, superintendents agree ...

... that high-quality education improves community life and social cohesion, attracts and retains families, helps develop a skilled workforce, fosters economic growth, attracts new jobs, increases real estate values, and eliminates cellulite. Oh, sorry, BoardBuzz got carried away by a new survey of city officials, school board members, and superintendents who were amazingly in agreement on the power of education. They even agreed on challenges for schools: Lack of funding. Lots of good examples can be found in this Education Week commentary penned by the heads of the National League of Cities, the National School Boards Association, and the American Association of School Administrators.
