Mission

Decatur and Macon County becomes one of the most educated communities in Illinois.

Goals

The Decatur Area Education Coalition identified three goals to make this vision a reality:

  • Every child is fully prepared for success when entering Kindergarten.
  • Every student masters grade level work.
  • Every student graduates from high school with the skills and resources to enroll in college or join the workforce.

Philosophy

The Decatur Area Education Coalition believes the extraordinary challenge of helping all children learn at high levels and become prepared for life-long success demands an increased role for business, educators, parents, and others outside the school room.

The extraordinary reward of meeting this challenge is an improved quality of life for Decatur and Macon County residents and increased prosperity for all in the region.

What is needed is a fundamental way of working differently as a community to achieve community solutions to a high priority concern.
