Afternoon Announcements: June 26, 2012

Welcome to today’s edition of the afternoon announcements. We hope you’re having a great day out there and are ready to get some of today’s news.

Before we start off today, you should know (if you don’t already) that tomorrow at 1pm we’ll be hosting a webinar with Alliance president Bob Wise and Communities in Schools president Daniel Cardinali. The webinar will focus on the economic impacts of increasing high school graduation rates. The two presidents will discuss the findings from CIS’s return-on-investment study, conducted by one of the nation’s leading economic modeling firms. The study demonstrates that CIS produces meaningful and social impacts by increasing high school graduation rates and the lifetime benefits for students, businesses, and taxpayers.
