41 Community First: A Jefferson County Schools Talking Point CREATING AN EDUCATION SYSTEM THAT BENEFITS THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY PRESENTED BY DR. JESSE L. JACKSON Packet page 41 of 53

42 Jefferson County Community First Initiative The Imperative For Quality Schools Monticello and Lake Wales Similarities What will be done to Make a Difference Packet page 42 of 53

43 The Imperative For Quality Schools A study conducted by economic professors Eric A. Hanushek (Stanford University), Jens Ruhose (University of Munich), and Ludger Woessmann (University of Munich) highlights the importance of improving the quality of education, not just increasing the number of years students spend in school, in order to promote economic development. The quality of a person s education can significantly influence a person s income level. According to a study conducted by June and Dave O Neills (2012), income disparities between individuals of different races come primarily from differences in education, not from discrimination. The Hanushek study also provides evidence that an educated population leads to innovation, higher levels of productivity, and increased economic growth. These researchers suggests that one important way to improve the quality of education is for state governments to implement innovative programs such as school choice and charter schools, rather than pouring money into a failing public education system (Hanushek, 2015). Packet page 43 of 53

44 Monticello and Lake Wales Similarities Monticello and Lake Wales are both rural towns where agriculture has served as a principle occupation for many of its residents. Both communities feature historic sites (as featured below) that have served to shape its prominence among Florida s rural communities. In addition, both town have rich histories of citizens representing their respective towns making good on the opportunities afforded them through their education systems. Unfortunately for both Monticello (Jefferson County) and Lake Wales something happened that caused a significant declines in each community. Packet page 44 of 53

45 The most significant similarity between Jefferson County Schools and Lake Wales is how its citizens responded to the decline in its public schools. Packet page 45 of 53

47 There is an exodus- people leave! For Lake Wales, it was estimated that more than 800 students (and their families) left in search of betters schools. Packet page 47 of 53
