The Rennie Center is committed to engaging diverse perspectives and statewide voices in constructive discourse to ensure public education reform is research-based and focused on improving educational outcomes. By convening conferences, policy briefings, panel discussions, online forums, and other events, as well as in meetings with legislators, policymakers, and local leaders, we seek to minimize polarized, partisan communication and promote an invigorated, inclusive debate that leads to well-informed decision-making.
“The Rennie Center has been the place with the table to which everybody comes. They’re always a few steps ahead of the issue so we can hear balanced arguments, exchange thoughts, and work out long term solutions in a really rational way. It’s a refreshing alternative to the political food fights around very complex issues that play out in soundbites that don’t serve the public well.”
