2011 MLK Competition Question
On March 1, 2010, President Barack Obama challenged States to identify high schools with critically low graduation rates below 60% and implement programs to increase the rate. This is an imperative call to action. We must address this problem.
"The Administration has committed $3.5 billion to fund transformational changes in America’s persistently low-performing schools. Additionally, the President’s 2011 budget includes $900 million to support School Turnaround Grants. President Obama also emphasized the importance of investing in dropout prevention and recovery strategies to help make learning more engaging and relevant for students, and announced new efforts to invest $100 million in a College Pathways program to promote a college readiness culture in high schools, through programs that allow students to earn a high school diploma and college credit at the same time." Source: White House Website (www.whitehouse.gov).
If Dr. King were alive today, what specific NEW solution(s) and NEW program(s) would he recommend that YOUR state implement and the Obama Administration fund? Specifically explain why the proposed new solutions and programs should be adopted?
