Washington Post: Prince George’s Residents Envision The County’s Future


This Saturdays Envision Prince George’s 21st Century Town Meeting was a rousing success. Check out yesterday’s Washington Post article.

“I have 30 students in my class,” said a 16-year-old student who attends Parkdale High School in Riverdale.

“Thirty students?” said Charles Collar, a county businessman. “That’s a college class.”

Collar, who facilitated the talk at Table 63, said that he did not think “money is the reason our educational system suffers. It is about our involvement.”

How to improve the county’s troubled education system was a hot topic during Envision Prince George’s, a six-hour town hall meeting that drew more than 1,000 people to the Sports & Learning Center in Landover on Saturday. The event was organized for residents to discuss challenges facing the county and ways to improve the quality of life over the next 20 years.
