Helping Municipal Leaders Expand Options and Alternatives for High School

The goal of this project is to foster strong high school learning communities that prepare all students for college, work, and citizenship.  The centerpiece of the project's activities is an intensive, 24-month technical assistance effort to develop and implement strategies for expanding options and alternatives for high school in Corpus Christi, Texas; Hartford, Conn.; Phoenix, Ariz.; San Antonio, Texas; and San Jose, Calif.

The project will:

• Provide support to cities to deepen and enhance the involvement of municipal leaders around expanded options and alternatives for high schools;
  
• Broaden awareness among municipal officials of the diverse roles they can play to stimulate and support an array of high school options and alternatives; and
  
• Develop a range of publications and related materials to assist municipal leaders as they seek to improve high school education in their communities.
