These collaborative efforts serve as critical investments in the future of our children and our community.

• Mayor Reed has helped rejuvenate the Schools/City Collaborative,which has brought stakeholders together to increase joint use of facilities, enhance student safety and recruit new teachers.
• Mayor Reed and the Silicon Valley Leadership Group developed a pilot program in 2008 to bring local technology professionals into the classroom to promote the importance of science and math.
• In 2007, Mayor Reed worked with the Silicon Valley Education Foundation to launch the “Teach Here, Live Here” program, which helped several first-time teachers rent an apartment or home in San José.
