“The one thing I would say is, and having been Deputy Chancellor of schools in New York City, the largest school system in the United States, worked in the private sector, worked for a mayor back in the day, worked in the non-for-profit community At this juncture, I don't think that there's an issue that's more significant and important than education, but it can't only be solved by educators. This is something that we need to get every American involved in. And not just to say what could we do, but give them a very concrete and specific agenda where our investment and it's gonna take an investment, but done in an innovative, creative and different kinds of ways can produce real meaningful change. And I think it is definitely possible.”

• The 2023 National Pathways Initiative Summit will be designed and structured to advance a clear vision for a new educational system that will incorporate a fundamental shift in the paradigm that has long guided U.S. education and enhance the pathways from the classroom, to college to a career.

• To bring this initiative to life and marshal the support of federal policymakers, we are forming a diverse National Pathways Coalition composed of prominent leaders in sectors vital to this effort, including business, education, government, the civil rights community, nonprofits and students and young adults.
