To mark our 20th anniversary, the Children's Campaign announced our organization's 20 Goals for 2010. We look forward to reaffirming our vision of creating hope and opportunity for Colorado children and working with a wide range of partners for the next 20 years.
- Establish longitudinal growth assessment programs in all publicly funded K-12 schools and incorporate those assessments into school accountability systems.
- Increase statewide high school graduation rates to 75%.
- Increase the percentage of low-income students who progress to post-secondary education by 10%.
- Ensure that 80% of low-income students attend schools rated "average" or higher.
- Close the achievement gap, as measured by CSAP performance, between low-income and minority students and all other students.
- Increase the effectiveness of middle schools by increasing the percentage of 9th graders who progress to the 10th grade in one year to 96%.
- Reduce the percentage of babies born to women with less than a high school diploma to 15%.
