Columbus area churches uniting to improve graduation rates
FYI for anyone who is interested:

Columbus area churches uniting to improve graduation rates
http://howardempowered.blogspot.com/2006/04/columbus-area-churches-uniting-to.html

Until this latest initiative was announced, I had no idea our graduation rate was so low--especially for African American males.

In the Columbus district, boys — especially black boys — graduate at much lower rates than their female classmates. Forty-eight percent of black males graduated from high school in Columbus, the study said, compared with 61 percent of black females. Among white students, 61 percent of girls graduated and 54 percent of boys did.


Details about the upcoming meeting of B.R.E.A.D. (Building Responsibility Equality and Dignity) here:
