Develop and implement a comprehensive plan to increase the enrollment of historically marginalized students in gifted, advanced course and academically oriented enrichment programming, and provide the necessary support for them to succeed.
Objective:
Students will have LifeReady experiences during their educational careers that lead to college or career readiness.

We continue to expand access to dual enrollment courses beyond our two ACA Specialty Centers.
Seat allocations in our current IB model have been expanded based on maximization of current staffing as we explore other ways to allow additional students into the program.
