Robert Gehrke’s Sept. 24 column about after-school programming in Salt Lake City called for a “serious dialogue about how to expand after-school options statewide.”
Gehrke correctly recognizes a challenge that goes beyond a single school district. As part of a unique and nationally recognized partnership of business, education, and community leaders committed to transforming the educational environment for Utah students, the Promise Partnership wholeheartedly supports this dialogue — and strongly suggests that we all take greater accountability for improving student outcomes.
The Promise Partnership is committed to helping every child succeed, regardless of their background.
