Redesign a Rural Campus with a P-20 Model
Support a school leader, with sufficient release time to be dedicated to planning the action, to redesign a campus within the PK-8 grade level bands to become a part of an integrated P-20 system model as a district-managed campus. The new ESF-aligned educational model must be developed to serve rural community needs and align with secondary and post-secondary dual credit opportunities, P-TECH programming, college and career coaching and work-based learning opportunities.

Why Choose this Action?

Deliver a comprehensive change that is deeply rooted in regional and community partnerships that bring together K-12, higher education, and workforce opportunities.

Empower a strong school leader to transform the district using the rural P-20 system model with high-quality instructional materials and model-aligned educators and staff.

Offer students an innovative rural model that focuses on relevant college and career opportunities through continuous educational attainment and industry-related certifications.
