Identifying Opportunity Gaps

To ensure equity across the state, we need to increase

opportunities to support successful students.

Part of this effort will be to explore which schools offer

opportunities for:

• Reviewing Graduation Measures

• Participation in My Brother’s Keeper programs

• Access to high level coursework

• Early College High School programs

• PTECH programs

21

Conclusion

• Achievement gaps are starting to narrow; however,

much work remains to be done

• Overall statewide graduation rate trend continues

upward

• Board and Department remain focused on bringing

educational equity to all New York students
