Current Strategy
The City has several strategies in place to ensure that City school students are well prepared for the future. For instance, City of Promise, a neighborhood-based intervention in the 10th & Page area, seeks to meet the needs of families with children falling behind in school. A new Youth Opportunity Project seeks to provide direct services to youth throughout the community with practical support and promote the use of community-wide, organizational and systemic solutions to address the 'achievement gap'.
