• Creating a permanent mechanism for business and education leaders to address education issues
• Encourage more direct partnership programs between Capital Region institutions of higher education and publicly funded schools in the City of Albany, with a special emphasis on the elementary school level, on schools in need of improvement, and the lowest performing K-12 schools
• Further develop and extend to all publicly funded schools an incentive-based student performance system

As progress continues to be made and work is aggressively being completed to reach these goals, Albany will continue to see many more transformations that can all be attributed to the vision that has come from Capitalize Albany.
