P20 Initiatives Overview

The P-20 Regional Alliance Program was established in 2003. Unlike other Center for Educational Partnership programs, the P-20 Regional Alliance Program partners with intersegmental entities to address issues affecting student achievement on a regional, rather than school, level. This work encompasses the counties of Tulare, Kings, Fresno, Madera, Merced and Stanislaus.
