$650K to be awarded to Springfield Public Schools
The Springfield Public Schools (SPS) is to receive $650,000 to provide students with successful futures. The “Portrait of a Graduate” (POG) started three years ago to transform the school. The Barr Foundation’s Portrait of a Graduate cohort was launched in 2019 following a request for proposals. Interested communities were identified to build a community-driven Portrait of a Graduate. This means that current students will be able to gain the knowledge needed to thrive after high school such as in college, career, and community.
