Reengaging Americans in Serious Education by Uniting Programs Act (RAISE-UP), S. 1608 - August 2009
|
|
On August 6, Senators Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Al Franken (D-MN), and Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY) introduced the Reengaging Americans in Serious Education by Uniting Programs Act (RAISE UP).
Some of the elements of RAISE-UP include:
-
Community parternships would receive federal funds to integrate existing, often disparate, services, into an intentional dropout recovery system at the local level. Grants would be given to the partnerships, who would then subgrant out funds to provide services that focus on education, job training, and wraparound support services.
-
RAISE-UP would serve young people in disadvantaged situations that left secondary school without receiving a high school diploma. This also includes runaway and homeless youth, youth in foster care and those aging out of care, and young people with disabilities.
-
RAISE-UP gives priority to applications from eligible entities proposing to serve areas with disproportionately high numbers of young people who have left secondary school without obtaining a diploma, and applications that serve areas with high concentrations of young people from low-income families.
-
RAISE-UP is authorized at $1 billion for FY10, and "such sums as may be necessary" for FY11-FY14. Of amounts appropriated, a total of no more than 10% can be used for evaluation, technical assistance, and dissemination of best practices.
