Last Fall, a small group met at Starbucks to discuss how to spend precious dollars on education in Tehama County. Should it go to SERRF? The Mentoring Program? Preschools? Were there programs we weren’t aware of? Were there gaps that could be filled? The small group grew and the scope of the conversation broadened from education to the needs of the community, of economic develop- ment, of positioning ourselves for future opportunities, of increasing our regional skills base and more. We realized that by partnering with stake- holders, we could champion existing resources and programs and begin to fill in the gaps. Expect More Tehama was born. A community collaboration to trans- form Tehama County by championing higher expectations for higher educa- tion and career readiness. Overall, rural areas have a lower per- centage of residents with higher educa- tion. Northern California is no excep- tion. From an economic development standpoint, the region needs to raise the skills of the workforce to compete for good companies and to retain our higher skilled. Increas- ingly the fastest growing, high wage jobs require postsec- ondary education. Now more than ever, we need all stu- dents prepared. Expect More Tehama also realizes that college is not for ness, education, service clubs, coaches, counselors, stu- dents, government, non-profits, parents, grandparents, school board members and individuals do? What sugges- tions did one group have for another? The room was elec- tric and positive. The ideas were proactive and numerous. Based on the outcomes of the Sum- mit, Expect More Tehama looks for- ward to supporting already established efforts through stronger marketing pro- motion and physical support and involvement. What does Expect More Tehama expect? Kathy Garcia Kate Grissom Expect More Through this movement we can Expect More resources, facts, civic engagement, options, opportunities, and a brighter future. Movement goals: All students in Tehama County graduate from high school. All students have access to and are prepared for higher education and col- lege, if they so choose. everyone. For some it might be a four year degree, but for others a two year degree, the military, a certificate program, apprenticeship or classes as they learn on the job. What if all students were rich in facts, information, support and mentors? Would more attend one of these options? And the need for higher skills is not limited to high school students. Our adult learners have options and must be encouraged to continue learning new skills. Expect More Tehama is not an education issue. It is a community issue. It is a discussion about expectations and intentions and encourages a culture shift. In May, over 100 stakeholders met at a Summit to tack- le the question: What can we do or put in place that will start to raise expectations and support youth in continuing their education and skills beyond high school?
