Council for Corporate and School Partnerships

The Council for Corporate and School Partnerships was founded in 2001 by Coca-Cola to serve, according to its website, as a "forum for the exchange of information, expertise and ideas to ensure that partnerships between businesses and schools achieve their full potential for meeting key educational objectives." Chaired by former U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley, the Council works to further school soda contracts to provide resources for school programs.
