REALITY: Far too many Central Ohio students are not being prepared for success in college* and careers … Some because they are sequestered in traditional academic settings that offer few choices or learning pathways. Others because they are the first generation in their families to go to college, under-represented minorities or students with disabilities. * “College” includes learning beyond high school that leads to credentialing (e.g., certificates and two- and four-year degrees.)
