In an unexpected plot twist that has education policy makers scratching their heads, Jay-Z threw his weight behind the proposed $100 million PASS program that would provide scholarships to students in Pennsylvania’s lowest-performing schools. Let's break it down: ▪️First, these aren't your Uncle Milton’s vouchers. Families could use the funds for private schools, yes, but also for various educational services and resources. ▪️It's less about abandoning ships and more about "building more lifeboats." The goal is to expand options for families with the greatest needs. ▪️As more states experiment with flexible funding models, the lines between traditional public, private, and alternative education options are blurring. With Jay-Z in the mix, the education reform debate just got much more interesting. Who knows, maybe we'll see Beyoncé leading a task force on STEM education next? 🐝 https://lnkd.in/gSzWX3-v

With forward thinking leaders, anything is possible! - Pinpoint an area of concern. - Research how others have effectively addressed the concern. - Involve the community to create an actionable mission plan. - Apply for grants that align with the plan. - Use the funds as agreed upon. These steps involve action research and community outreach. I will preach day in and day out about the necessity of buy-in within the community. Everyone’s voice needs a microphone to ensure an equitable, actionable, solution-oriented outcome leads to success!
