PURPOSE:
The purpose of this memo is to recommend the appointments of two members to the Aurora Education Commission.
BACKGROUND:
The Aurora Education Commission was established on December 19, 2017 via Aurora City Council vote. It was created to develop, execute and support educational initiatives that will prepare our residents for education and workforce success.

A committee consisting of staff reviewed applications and resumes of interested applicants with the goal of appointing two new members to the commission. Below are the candidates for the Aurora Education Commission:
Private School

Colleges/Universities
Dr. Mark Curtis-Chavez, Provost, College of DuPage.
