(From the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education)
Congratulations to the 40 rural schools selected to participate in the Missouri Postsecondary Advising Initiative during the 2021-22 school year. A list of participating schools can be found here.
In fall 2021, DESE launched the Missouri Postsecondary Advising Initiative in partnership with philanthropic organization rootEd Alliance. The three-year initiative, which is funded by federal COVID relief dollars, aims to ensure all high school students, particularly those in rural communities, have a college and career advisor exclusively focused on helping them achieve success following graduation.
Schools were selected based on school and community need, COVID impact in the community, and geography. An additional 71 schools that applied but were not selected in the first round will begin the program in 2022-23. Another application round will occur in spring 2022 to fill remaining program slots for 2022-23.
School districts selected from this area were Carthage R-9, Golden City R-3 and McDonald County R-1.
