Pursuing Promise
Neighborhoods: With or Without the Grant
Program*
The federal Promise Neighborhoods
program underscores the importance of
all children and youth having ?access to
great schools and strong systems of
family and community support that will
prepare them to attain an excellent
education and successfully transition to
college and a career.? From this
perspective, this brief stresses the
importance for grantees to use what has
been learned about
1.
rethinking and coalescing existing
programs and services in order to
develop a unified and comprehensive
system
2.
establishing an effective school, home,
and community collaborative to weave
together different funding streams,
reduce redundancy, and redeploy
available resources.
The brief also states that there is no reason for non-grantees to
wait for findings from the demonstration
projects. Any locale, despite sparse
dollars, can use available resources to
begin the process.
As design aids, prototypes are offered for a unifying intervention
framework and for a school, home, and
community collaborative infrastructure.
*Promise
Neighborhoods Program by
the U.S. Department of Education’s
Office of Innovation and Improvement
(OII) is newly authorized under the
ESEA, as amended by the ESSA. The
purpose of the Promise Neighborhoods
program is to significantly improve the
academic and developmental outcomes of
children living in the most distressed
communities of the United States,
including ensuring school readiness,
high school graduation, and access to a
community-based continuum of
high-quality services. The program
serves neighborhoods with high
concentrations of low-income
individuals; multiple signs of distress,
which may include high rates of poverty,
childhood obesity, academic failure, and
juvenile delinquency, adjudication, or
incarceration; and schools implementing
comprehensive support and improvement
activities or targeted support and
improvement activities under section
1111(d) of the ESEA. All strategies in
the continuum of solutions must be
accessible to children with disabilities
and English learners. Pre-application
webinars will be announced on the
Promise
