1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,120
- We are working as a team

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,650
with our public education partners,

3
00:00:07,650 --> 00:00:10,840
to address in the longterm, the need for,

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,090
high-quality public
education in the region.

5
00:00:14,090 --> 00:00:17,160
We know that public
education is a challenge,

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,170
around many installations.

7
00:00:19,170 --> 00:00:22,640
Our goal is to make it not a challenge

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,370
to accepting an assignment here.

9
00:00:25,370 --> 00:00:27,060
This effort has been,

10
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:29,900
one in trying to raise an understanding

11
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:33,280
within the school districts
of the particular challenges,

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,630
not just for our children,

13
00:00:34,630 --> 00:00:37,550
but the secondary effect that has.

14
00:00:37,550 --> 00:00:40,880
That if mom and dad aren't confident

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,407
that their kids are safe and
getting a good education,

16
00:00:44,407 --> 00:00:46,620
they're not focused on the mission.

17
00:00:46,620 --> 00:00:50,020
The installation and
the leadership have put

18
00:00:50,020 --> 00:00:51,430
people,

19
00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:52,830
time,

20
00:00:52,830 --> 00:00:54,360
money,

21
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,330
effort,

22
00:00:55,330 --> 00:00:58,990
behind improving public education so that

23
00:00:58,990 --> 00:01:01,440
every university and the mission partners,

24
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,930
here on Maxwell-Gunter,

25
00:01:02,930 --> 00:01:07,270
will be able to recruit and
retain the very best people.

26
00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:09,780
We've tried to broaden
our efforts to ensure

27
00:01:09,780 --> 00:01:14,190
that this is not just about
taking care of our families

28
00:01:14,190 --> 00:01:16,160
and our military-connected children.

29
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,560
This entire initiative is going to

30
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,750
succeed,

31
00:01:20,750 --> 00:01:23,360
when we raise the tide for all boats,

32
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,910
we are part of the river region community.

33
00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:29,680
We're not apart from, we are a part of,

34
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:30,530
the river region.
