The Multiple Educational Pathways to Graduation Initiative, launched by the U.S. Department of Labor, is designed to provide an opportunity for seven mid-sized cities to build a systemic strategy to address the needs of struggling students and dropouts. Each city will build a multi-sector partnership to assess the scope of the dropout challenge, the service and resource landscape, and the strength of current high school reform efforts. The partners in each community will use this information to develop a comprehensive “Blueprint” for building multiple educational pathways.
