Neighborhood Initiative to develop a system of promise neighborhoods

of pupils by, among other things, supporting efforts to improve
outcomes that are communicated and analyzed by the state and local
leaders and members of the community, identifying and increasing the
capacity of eligible entities to build a college and career-going
culture in the neighborhood, and building a continuum of academic,
family, and community supports with effective high schools at the
center.
