There is a growing realization that reaching our goal of ensuring that all young people can graduate from any public high school with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed as adults will require high-quality educational opportunities both during and beyond the school day. What would a high-functioning system look like that provided equitable opportunities and that integrated in-school and extended learning? This issue of Voices in Urban Education suggests some possibilities. Articles by Heidi Harris Lemmel and Robert Rothman, Shirley Brice Heath, Eileen Landay, Sophia Cohen and Dennie Palmer Wolf, David Lemmel and Samuel Steinberg Seidel, Heather Harding, Ned Rimer, and Camrin Fredrick and former Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline.
