School invests $10,000 in at-risk youth

Posted

JAG is coming to Stanley-Boyd in the near future, and no that doesn’t stand for “Judge Advocate General,” if you’re a ‘90s child who grew up on old school primetime networks.

Instead, it stands for “Jobs for America’s Graduates,” a Department of Public Instruction program that seeks to steer at-risk youth onto the right path and give them the skill set they need to support a family of four above the poverty line.

With Chad Verbeten making a motion seconded by Toni Seidl to enter into a ‘memorandum of understanding’ with the State DPI on the program, the hope last September was to have someone on board by October. But while the district can veto candidates, it has no say in the selection process.
