Continuing progress in urban districts.

We continued to deepen our partnerships and expand our investments in some of the nation's largest urban areas, including New York City, Oakland, and Chicago. The civic, political, and education leaders in these cities have come together to give young people more options for a rigorous education by supporting hundreds of new high schools. The foundation's additional investments and partnerships are designed to expand access to high quality high schools in these cities and support our partners through technical assistance, materials, and community outreach.
