DAYTON — The Dayton Public School District and Mound Street Academy are forming a partnership to continue the Mound Street Academy program, which seeks to help at-risk students.
This partnership announced Wednesday evening also will allow DPS to better serve students who need the services Mound Street provides, DPS media liaison Alex Kincaid said in a prepared statement.
Mound Street is in place to help students who are at risk of dropping out, or who have dropped out, to earn high school diplomas. This will provide DPS students, and students in the Dayton community who are on the verge of dropping out, with another way to earn their diploma.
The partnership process will take several months to complete, but DPS and Mound Street will be prepared to work with students this fall. Mound Street Academy will continue to serve students enrolled during the 2019-20 school year and will be accepting new students.
