Identifying Opportunity Gaps

To ensure equity across the state, we need to increase opportunities to support successful students.

Part of this effort will be to explore which schools offer opportunities for:

• Multiple graduation pathways• Participation in My Brother’s Keeper programs• Access to high level coursework• Early College High School programs• PTECH programs

34

My Brother’s Keeper

• $48 million awarded to more than 100 districts and colleges through 3 grant programs

23 Communities 7 Tribal Nations 40 Challenge Grants 45 Family and Community Engagement Grants 36 My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) Fellows 16 Teacher Opportunity Corps (TOC) II funded programs 5 Exemplary School Model Practice Schools (ESMP)

35

Conclusion

• Achievement gaps are starting to narrow; however, much work remains to be done

• Overall statewide graduation rate trend continues upward

• Board and Department remain focused on bringing educational equity to all New York students
