IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0THE FUTURE OF COLLEGE AND CAREER: 2024 SAW CONTINUED DISRUPTIONS TO THE NATION'S COLLEGE PIPELINE AND A CORRESPONDING REASSESSMENT OF HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS. HOW SHOULD TODAY'S HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES BE PREPARED FOR BOTH COLLEGE AND CAREER TODAY? AND HOW SHOULD THE HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE BE RECONCEIVED, TO BETTER PREPARE THE TEENS OF 2024 FOR THE FUTURE WORKFORCE? THE 74 DEDICATED SIGNIFICANT BANDWIDTH TO EXPLORING THESE QUESTIONS, BY CONTINUING OUR "FUTURE OF HIGH SCHOOL" SERIES THAT CAST A SPOTLIGHT ON THE MOST UNIQUE CAMPUSES ACROSS THE NATION.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0SCHOOL DATA SECURITY AND STUDENT PRIVACY: THE 74 CONTINUED ITS AWARD WINNING COVERAGE OF SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY AND CYBERSECURITY, INCLUDING ADDITIONAL COVERAGE OF CYBERATTACKS THAT RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT DATA BREACHES AND THE LEAKING OF CONFIDENTIAL STUDENT DATA. AS SCHOOLS CONTINUE TO SERVE AS MAJOR TARGETS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR HACKERS, AND AS THE NUMBER OF SUCH DATA INCIDENTS SKYROCKETED OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, THE 74 HAS TURNED A GREATER SHARE OF ITS ATTENTION TO FOCUSING ON HOW THESE ATTACKS IMPACT SCHOOL OPERATIONS, STUDENT DATA AND DISTRICT BUDGETS.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc1EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT: THE 74 MADE A STRATEGIC INVESTMENT IN EXPANDING OUR COVERAGE OF EARLY EDUCATION AND CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT ISSUES.
