Springfi eld school admins want to make students ‘real-life ready’ BY VICTORIA STEPHENS THE CHRONICLE SPRINGFIELD – Springfi eld Public School District Superintendent Todd Hamilton spoke at last week’s Springfi eld City Club luncheon on how the district is planning for student success. “What is a life-ready student?,” he asked. The district is focused on producing life-ready students, as only about half of high school students plan to attend college. When high school students were polled on their plans after graduation, only 30% of the young men foresaw college as their future goal, compared to 70% of the young women. Seventy percent of the young men planned on going immediately into the workforce whereas 30% of the young women had that plan. “The challenge is knowing what that bright future looks like,” Hamilton said. This summer, the State of Oregon approved $1 billion for the Student Success Act. These funds, gener- ated by new taxes on businesses, will for used for 28 programs within Oregon’s public schools statewide.
