PARENTAL PARTNERSHIP MEETING #1SEPTEMBER 2011

Brighter Choice Charter School for Boys:

Why We Exist

College: Gateway to Options

Family Sustaining Future

Between 2008 and 2018, New York will create 2.8 million job vacancies both from new jobs and from job openings due to retirement.

1.8 million of these job vacancies will be for those with postsecondary credentials, 750,000 for high school graduates and 287,000 for high school dropouts.

How the State Set Cut Scores for Proficiency Levels

The 2011 Math and ELA Proficiency Standard

scores reflect the changes the state began last year.

If your scholar scores “Proficient” (Level 3) or “Advanced” (Level 4)

in ELA and Math, he is on track for earning a score

on his Regents’ exams that colleges will look at as

“college ready.”
