myFutureNC (MFNC), a new statewide commission with a focus on improving educational attainment and economic opportunities for all North Carolinians, held a listening session at Randolph Community College on July 18 in the JB and Claire Davis Corporate Training Center.
About 50 people attended the event, which included focus groups and a panel discussion by educational leaders from the local area. The commission’s work is underwritten by grants from the John M. Belk Endowment, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Goodnight Education Foundation. RCC President Robert Shackleford and Gus Agudelo, a member of the Asheboro City School Board of Education since 2011 and a myFutureNC commissioner, were the local hosts for the event.
The listening sessions were designed to hear from communities about what they perceive as their region’s economic strengths and identify the educational opportunities that are most needed to capitalize on those strengths. The July 18 session was the last of nine sessions held around the state.
