About Us
About MeckEd
There has never been a greater need for an independent organization in Mecklenburg County, NC to empower civic leaders, elected officials, parents, students, school and district leaders, and state policymakers with the information necessary to make responsible decisions.
MeckEd has proven itself as a reliable vehicle for surfacing and validating a range of voices and opinions. MeckEd effectively inserts itself as an independent broker to ensure that parent input informs district decisions.
​
