Board approves adding third postsecondary adviser through Education to Employment partnership
Summary
Alice ISD approved a 51/49 cost‑share with Education to Employment Partners to expand its Post‑Secondary Success program by adding a third adviser at Alice High School; the district’s share was cited at about $85,000.
The Alice ISD board approved a cost‑sharing agreement with Education to Employment Partners (E2E) to continue the Post‑Secondary Success program at Alice High School and to add a third adviser.
Under the approved arrangement, E2E will pay 51% of three advisers’ combined salaries and the district will pay the remaining 49%. District staff said the district’s share to fund the three positions would be about $85,000 for the year. Presenters said the advisers work daily on campus to help seniors and other students with college applications, FAFSA completion, test preparation (TSI, SAT), college visits and post‑graduation follow‑through, including verifying fall enrollment so students are counted toward accountability measures.
Staff reported the program served roughly 270–275 students this year and credited the advisers with high FAFSA completion rates and other postsecondary outcomes. The board approved the agreement by voice vote; trustees asked that the district finalize the contract terms and report quarterly on outcomes and enrollment follow‑through for graduates supported by the advisers.
