The purpose of the Education Council is to serve as the voice of the residents of greater Estero to improve the quality of educational programs and facilities. The EC seeks opportunities, offers solutions, challenges threats, and communicates reliable and accurate information to Engage Estero leadership and residents to make informed decisions and encourage community engagement on education issues.
Engage Estero’s current education efforts are spearheaded by our Education Council. Currently we’re working across 4 major Campaigns to ensure that residents of all ages throughout the Village of Estero and Greater Estero are both informed on the state of education in Estero as well as working towards bettering Estero’s education efforts, for both primary school and college.
