School districts, community colleges and four-year universities are working together to get more students from high school to college.
Ricardo Torres, at left, the president and CEO of the National Student Clearinghouse, discussed the K-12 to college pipeline with San Antonio education leaders, including Alamo Colleges District Chancellor Mike Flores, second from left, San Antonio ISD Superintendent Jaime Aquino, and Heather Shipley, senior vice provost of Academic Affairs and dean of University College, at the National Education Conference on Thursday.
“It is a collective impact strategy,” said Mike Flores, chancellor of the Alamo Colleges District. “I don’t see it as necessarily a zero sum game, that … UTSA’s gain is our loss. There is much work to be done.” “We actually compete with poverty,” Flores said. “Our prospective students each and every day weigh the opportunity costs of whether they can afford tuition.”Success! You're on the list.
“Our post-secondary navigator came to us, and through our foundation, we gave them a brand new laptop,” he said. Aquino told the San Antonio Report that the partnerships are “just scratching the surface,” with an eye for growth in the years to come. The district leader also said he would like to see improvements in outcomes for students with disabilities in the post-secondary pathway.
