Bynum ISD is proud to announce that it is part the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Program (GEAR UP). GEAR UP is a federally funded program administered in Central Texas by the Education Service Center Region 12.  The funding was approved in 2011 and is expected to continue for seven years.  The program will follow a cohort of 4,000 students from the classes of 2017 and 2018 from 23 school districts in Central Texas.  The program serves these students as they progress through middle and high school and enter their first year of college. ESC Region 12 is partnering with a number of colleges, universities, and area businesses and programs to provide these services.

WHY IS GEAR UP IMPORTANT?

GEAR UP believes that college education is possible for all students, regardless of economic background.

The Purpose
GEAR UP is designed to help more young Americans stay in school, develop good study skills and take the right courses to go to college.

The Plan

The program supports a cohort group of students from the classes of 2017 and 2018, as well as
their families, to increase their college and career readiness through:

• preparing academically
• college planning
• financial aid planning

The grant serves these students through high school.

Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) will replace the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). This new test is designed for students in grades 3-11.
