Public education is foundational to our economy, workforce, and community identity. Regardless of whether you have school-age children, the success of our schools shapes the future of Guilford County. We encourage every resident to read the report, reflect on its findings, and consider how they can contribute to building a strong, equitable education system for all.
Together, we can make a lasting impact on the educational landscape of our community.
