That’s one student every *26 seconds*, and *nearly 7,000* young people every school day. As part of the national *Dropout Prevention* campaign, 105 summits are being held in states, cities and communities nationwide over the next two years to stimulate discussion of the problem and generate solutions. On November 12, 2009, Mayor Ravenstahl is hosting the “Graduate Pittsburgh Summit: Creating a Community-wide Strategy to Combat the Drop-out Crisis,” at the YWCA (Downtown) in an effort to develop a localized action plan to increase graduation rates and improve college readiness in our community. *Please feel free to circulate the attached “SAVE THE DATE” throughout your network. * For more information on the Graduate Pittsburgh Summit please contact: * * *Sabrina S.
