    515 S. Kansas Ave., Suite 201 | Topeka, KS 66603 JAG-K MISSION

    Dear Member of the House Education Committee, Thank you for the opportunity to discuss Jobs for America’s Graduates-Kansas (JAG-K). JAG-K is a 501(c)3 organization that invests in kids facing numerous obstacles to success. These are students generally not on track to graduate from high school, and, more than likely, headed for poverty or continuing in a generational cycle of poverty. JAG-K gives students hope for a better outcome. Incorporating a successful research-based model that was developed in Delaware in 1979 and taken nationally in 1980, JAG-K partners with schools and students to help them complete high school and then get on a career path. Whether they pursue post-secondary education, vocational training, the military or move directly into the workforce, our students are guided by JAG-K Career Specialists (Specialists) along the way. JAG-K Specialists invest time, compassion, understanding and love into the program and their students. The specialists continue to work with students for a full year past high school. The results are amazing. Our JAG-K students have a graduation rate exceeding 91 percent statewide, and more than 84 percent are successfully employed or on a path to employment. These are results for students who were generally not on a path to success prior to participating in JAG-K. We believe JAG-K could be part of the statewide solution in addressing “at-risk” students who may not be on track to graduate or need some additional assistance. Although JAG-K is an elective class during the school year, our Specialists maintain contact and offer student support throughout the summer months and during a 12 -month follow-up period after their senior year.

Pinchback, T.T. Allain, T.B. Stamps, and Henry Demas. TTheir efforts resulted in the establishment of this institution for the education of persons of color in New Orleans. Southern University, chartered by Legislative Act 87 in April 1880, had a 12-member Board of Trustees. The act provided for the establishment of a faculty of “arts and letters” competent in “every branch of liberal education.” The charter sought to open doors of state higher education to all “persons competent and deserving.” Southern opened with 12 students and a $10,000 appropriation. With the passage of the 1890 Morrill Act, the University was reorganized to receive land-grant funds. In 1912, Legislative Act 118 authorized the closing of Southern University in New Orleans, the sale of its property, and the reestablishment of the University on a new site. In 1914, the “new” Southern University opened in Scotlandville, Louisiana, receiving a portion of a $50,000 national land-grant appropriation. Southern University in New Orleans and Southern University in Shreveport were authorized by Legislative Acts 28 and 42 in 1956 and 1964 respectively.

    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2015 Championship 2 History 4 Brackets 17 2015 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Florida’s McMurtry finishes off triumphant title victory: Alex McMurtry is the youngest member of the Florida gymnastics team. Maybe the 18-year-old isn’t old enough to feel pressure. Maybe she didn’t know she should. On the final rotation Saturday night -- the uneven bars -- Florida needed a 9.95 or better to win its third consecutive NCAA gymnastics title. All McMurtry did was execute her best routine of the season, earning a career-best 9.95 to propel the Gators a final score of 197.850 and the national championship. “I didn’t necessarily know what score I had to get,” McMurtey said. “I think that would have made it even harder for me so I knew I had a job to do and I knew my teammates had my back. Going last is sometimes a good position, sometimes a bad position, and we had five girls hit routines so I knew my teammates had my back and I just had to do my job. It all worked out for me and that was one of the best routines of my career.” “It’s amazing that she came out under this heavy pressure situation as a freshman and performed as well as she did everywhere,” Florida head coach Rhonda Faehn said.“To anchor that bar lineup, to have that fight for every little thing, it’s not only amazing, it speaks volumes for what she will continue to bring to this team in the future, which is exciting.” Faehn had her back to the scoreboard and paid no attention to the other teams competing.
