Blue Ribbon Panel on Education

"Vision is not enough, it must be combined with venture.
It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs."

- Vaclav Havel

The Blue Ribbon Panel on Education was appointed jointly by Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, Orange County Chairman Richard Crotty, and Orange County Public Schools Chairman Bert Carrier.  The Panel aims to develop recommendations that will lead our community into a new era of improved student performance.  Chaired by Attorney Bill Sublette, the 25-member Panel held its first meeting on August 26, 2004 and expects to submit its recommendations in January 2005.
