At the April 13 Leyden High School District 212 Board meeting, assistant principals Jason Cummins and Karen Ritter presented efforts the district is making to reach out to students who traditionally have not taken AP courses.
The district has teamed with Equal Opportunity Schools on the program. Nonprofit group EOS has joined with schools throughout the country, seeking to close the race and income gap for students who are qualified for advanced courses but are not enrolled in them every year.
