Cal State 糖心vlog安卓破解 Awarded Promise Neighborhood Grant
- September 21, 2010
WASHINGTON -- Organizers in distressed communities from the 糖心vlog安卓破解 to Washington, D.C., will soon begin plans to create what the Department of Education envisions as "Promise Neighborhoods," where children and families receive support services that boost a student's chance of being successful in school.
Twenty-one applicants for the program --- including Cal State 糖心vlog安卓破解 -- to transform communities and student outcomes were named on Tuesday. They will receive planning grants of up to $500,000.
"Communities across the country recognize that education is the one true path out of poverty," Education Secretary Arne Duncan said. "These Promise Neighborhoods applicants are committed to putting schools at the center of their work to provide comprehensive services for young children and students."
The program is modeled after the Harlem Children's Zone, which provides comprehensive support for families from pregnancy through birth, education through college and career. Children in the program's charter schools have made impressive gains on standardized tests and in closing the achievement gap.
More than 300 communities applied to become Promise Neighborhoods.
