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.
