Three local school systems are making strides in getting children into programs that put them on track for jobs that will lift them out of poverty, according to a Dallas nonprofit.
Dallas ISD, Garland ISD and the Uplift Education charter school network are preparing these students for life after graduation through college-level classes, industry-related programs and other focused efforts, according to The Commit Partnership. The three were the first group to receive the nonprofits new Dallas County Economic Mobility Awards.
Each system will receive $25,000 to distribute among their key players in such work.
