Steering Sub-Committees

Beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, the NOEEN Steering Committee will establish three working groups, or Sub-Committees, comprised of Steering Committee members, Agenda for Children representatives, and a variety of other stakeholders and content-area experts committed to improving quality, access, and accountability in early childhood education.

Steering Sub-Committees will consist of strategic, forward-thinking policy, practice, and advocacy work in the areas of Quality, Enrollment, and Funding. Policy or practice changes proposed in the course of Sub-Committee sessions will be brought to the full Steering Committee for deliberation and / or ratification. 

2019-2020 Meeting Schedule

All Meetings will be held from 11:30 am-1:30 pm at the Agenda for Children Office (8300 Earhart Blvd., Suite 201) unless otherwise specified. All meetings are open to the public. Please sign up for our newsletter, New Orleans Early Education Network (NOEEN) News to be informed of any changes to the meeting schedule. Note that it is the last option on the sign-up form.
