Wyoming Officials: More dialogue needed to solve education issues

The Bridges agenda calls for looking at better serving under-prepared adults, devising uniform data on education, having priority programs align with economic diversification and looking at tax policy and governance issues to see if the priorities could be supported.

The state’s community colleges can’t go it alone when addressing education issues such as access and student preparedness and instead must join forces with other state agencies, several officials said Friday.

A group of state and education officials agreed at Friday’s Bridges to Opportunity project, which was sponsored by the Wyoming Community College Commission, to take a four-point agenda participants devised and continue discussions with the governor and other state, education and business officials.
