Priorities for 2007 Funding

In today's fast-paced, rapidly changing world, it is vital that all B-CC graduates have the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in college. It used to be a high school diploma was a ticket into good jobs and productive careers. No longer.

Today, nearly every well-paying job and career that B-CC students will aspire to requires post-secondary education. The challenge for B-CCHS is to ensure that all its students take the prerequisite courses and achieve at a high enough level to prepare them for the colleges of their choice.

To meet this challenge the Foundation has set the Funding Priorities for 2007.

For more statistics and information on the importance of being ready for college, read this article.

Funding Priorities for 2007

• After-school Tutoring (TAP) for all students
• Summer Academy for at-risk students
• Mentoring for at-risk 9th graders
• International Baccalaureate Program Support
• Professional Development for teachers
• New Computers and Technology
• English Proficiency and Basic Computer Classes for parents
  

The Foundation is seeking funds from the B-CC community -- parents, alumni, businesses, and other community organizations -- for these priorities. It works closely with the school administration, the PTSA, other parent groups, and B-CC alumni to coordinate support for the school and monitor its grants.
