Leading postsecondary success organization OneGoal and the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) announced the beginning of a new partnership that will bring OneGoal’s postsecondary success support to districts and high schools across the state. The two-year contract is driven by OneGoal’s District Partnership Program, an initiative that integrates the nonprofit’s proven postsecondary success model into the fabric of school districts by embedding the OneGoal class into high schools and co-creating system-wide solutions that leverage the professional learning, curriculum, data, and ongoing consultation OneGoal has honed over the past decade. The collaboration will support district leaders to strengthen postsecondary enrollment and persistence in their communities and bolster other leading indicators for college and career readiness, including FAFSA completion and Early College Coursework Enrollment. Ultimately, the partnership will ensure more first-generation students from low-income communities can explore multiple postsecondary pathways that lead to economic mobility and family-sustaining wages. OneGoal and ISBE have partnered to offer services to districts and schools across the state by leveraging $7.5 million in federal pandemic relief funds, which means no cost to inaugural partner districts. Leaders who are interested in accelerating system-level change in their district are encouraged to visit OneGoal’s website to learn more, fill out an application, and connect with OneGoal’s team.
