Nalani Linder's Company Details
"By the Class of 2020, WE WILL increase by 50% both the high school graduation rate of Tacoma Public Schools' students and those who complete a college degree or technical certificate. Success will require measuring and closing gaps in access, opportunities, and achievement for all students from cradle to college and career."\\The Foundation for Tacoma Students is the backbone organization that supports, organizes, and catalyzes the community-wide Graduate Tacoma movement, urging action from everyone in the community— educators, parents, students, early learning and higher education, elected officials, business and labor, community service and youth organizations, non-profits and philanthropy, local government and communities of faith—to help improve student achievement and success in Tacoma.\In 2010, just over half the students in Tacoma were graduating from high school; an unacceptable 55%. Since then, the community has come together around a bold and ambitious goal, with a commitment to alignment and transparency with Tacoma Public Schools. Today, we are measuring and working together to improve 11 student indicators and six community indicators that span from cradle to college and career.\\The Graduate Tacoma movement is made up of more than 200 community partners, many whom sit on one of four Collaborative Action Networks: Early Learning and Reading, Out of School and Summer Learning, Tacoma Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM), or the Tacoma College Support Network. The Data Manager's primary responsibility is to support the data needs of the backbone organization and each of the collaborative action networks.
