Thanks Heidi for sharing. Reminds me of the DIOP program at Friendship-West Baptist Church. Each one teach one, one young man at a time.
It would be nice if DISD realized that young black males have their own set of issues. As NAACP President Casey Thomas writes in the Dallas Weekly, the current graduation rates of black males at DISD is unacceptable. We need to explore all options.

What are options are being explored? What can be done to stem the unacceptable dropout rate?

Should DISD realize that or the Black community? At any rate, I am in agreement that options need to be explored, however, I do not think that it is the responsibility of the school system to devise these options. We should devise the plans and have DISD execute them accordingly.
