The Hunt Institute’s 2009 Governors Education Symposium (June 2009) gathered current and former U.S. governors, multiple experts, teams of state education officials, and other individuals to discuss bold education reforms with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. This report, released in October 2009, reflects the discussions that occurred and draws upon briefing materials commissioned for the event.
David Conley, the CEO of EPIC, contributed to the discussion and drew from his own research and experiences. He is pictured on page two and his presentation informs most of the content provided on page three.
This document represents the most progressive discussions about education policy at the state level. It is available for reading and download on the Hunt Institute’s website.
