NLC salutes "Partners for Student Success"

The National League of Cities has highlighted Boston and four other cities that are expanding out-of-school time learning opportunities. A report (PDF) released this week features Boston's "Partners for Student Success" initiative, led by Mayor Thomas M. Menino and administered by Boston Beyond in partnership with the Boston Public Schools DELTAS office. Boston's PSS initiative provides 15 elementary and K-8 schools with additional supports aimed at expanding, enhancing, and coordinating key services for struggling students during and after the school day.
