About this grant
This grant increase supports New Visions for Public Schools in its efforts to better study and document extended learning opportunities and develop multischool, multipartner strategies to enable an entire community to align existing and new resources around graduating more students prepared to succeed in careers or college. This grant increase will allow the grantee to support a third implementation site in the "A New Day for College and Career Readiness Campaign." Adding an additional site will enhance study efforts focused on increasing student achievement through strong community partnerships and extended learning opportunities and create tools that will help advance local efforts to increase student achievement. This work will help to advance the Mott-funded report, "A New Day for Learning", which examines the opportunity that afterschool provides to make the case for increased collaboration between sectors to support children and youth.
