Скачать или смотреть Governor Carney State of the State: Opportunity Funding Initiative and Graduation Rates - Education

The promise we made three years ago to our children is probably the most important of all. We promised that at the end of our term, more children would be graduating ready for what comes next. And with a sense of promise about the future. Today I can report that graduation rates for low-income students and English learners are the highest they’ve been in 10 years.

Today, for the first time in our state’s history, we’re targeting resources toward these students who need our help the most. As you know, we call it Opportunity Funding. Districts are already putting the money to good use.

Appoquinimink is expanding pre-K enrollment.
In Red Clay, Dorrell Green and his team are reducing class sizes and providing additional mental health supports.
Laurel educators are placing a specific focus on behavioral health in the classroom. Laurel is represented today by Jessica Nowacki, their behavioral health coordinator. Jessica was hired through our Opportunity Funding.

Public schools across the state are using this funding to hire more than 200 new educators and professionals focusing on these students.
