“Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, but still too many continue to face barriers that hinder their potential. The DIPLOMA Act will help schools and educators better address the challenges students face and provide comprehensive support that goes beyond the classroom. Working with community partners like non-profits, local businesses, and agencies will help alleviate pressure off of our academic institutions while also ensuring that every young person has the tools they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally."
