Peter,

We have good news, and not so good news. First, the good news: We have learned that the full $3.4 million in 9th Grade on Track grants, funded by the state legislature last year, have been awarded! That means over 22,000 more students across the state are on a stronger pathway to post-high school success! It also means that school districts see the value in these programs.  Legislators: Support 9th Grade On-Track

Now, the not so good news: We are hearing that grant funding is likely to be cut in the new budget. That means over 75,000 9th graders per year will not have access to this game changing approach to graduating high school on time and becoming better prepared for whatever comes next, whether it’s college, a trade, or the military.  

Why not invest in something that is so inexpensive, yet so good for our students, our economy, and our state? We’re not sure of the answer to that, but we’re hoping you can help us turn this around.  

Please take action today to ask your legislators to support 9th Grade On-Track in the budget and to build a strong, vibrant economy!   

Standing with you, 

Jacob Sumner, Marketing and Communications Manager
