About the Metropolitan Education Commission

The Metropolitan Education Commission (MEC), composed of 34 Citizen Commissioners, advises, makes recommendations and serves as an advocate  in all areas as they affect the educational welfare of Tucson and Pima County. MEC’s goals include:

  • To empower and advocate for students, their teachers, and and their  families
  • To acknowledge individuals and groups within the community whose exemplary service to students and to education merits such special recognition
  • To promote graduation from high school as a first step toward an enriched future for students and a realistic sense of their place within the community.

Read more about the MEC and our goals here.

In 2007 & 2008, MEC advocacy will focus on the development of a centralized program to advance access to higher education for Tucson & Pima County students; expansion and funding of high school career & technical programs; and creation and maintenance of a centralized clearinghouse for educational options in Tucson & Pima County.
