JCPS is in the initial planning stages and will hopefully complete a RFP next month. Beginning as early as kindergarten, and continuing through 12th grade and beyond, the services offered by Say Yes community partners to every public school student (and their families) may include tutoring; after-school programming; summer camp; school-based medical care and counseling; advice on college admissions and financial aid; and free legal assistance. Say Yes also helps communities develop a pathway of milestones to post-secondary readiness — and to create systems for analyzing data to ensure that students remain on track to graduate. Those who fall behind can receive support services from a range of local partners, with the goal of eliminating predictable barriers to achievement. http://sayyestoeducation.org/ TARC – Diane Nilest shared that the Youth Summer Pass for TARC is available for students 6-18 yrs. $30.00.
