Sarasota County Government and its educational partners – area public schools, colleges and universities – are exploring opportunities for collaboration.

Sarasota County Commissioners Jon Thaxton, Shannon Staub, Carolyn Mason, Nora Patterson and Joe Barbetta are engaging in a series of discussions about strategies for enhancing the community’s economic base and sustainability efforts.

An initial roundtable discussion was held in June to review existing educational programs and to explore additional initiatives.
