Support will help JAG reach more youth at risk of dropping out
Washington, D.C., December 3, 2015 – Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) and AT&T are working together to help raise the high school graduation rate by expanding academic support and providing mentoring opportunities for underserved students. JAG has received a $2.55 million contribution from AT&T to allow the national non-profit to add new schools and/or expand existing programs through their 32 JAG State Affiliates with proven records of success of keeping kids in school.

And as we like to say, if you can make it through the Machine Learning course, the rest is a breeze [and by breeze we mean gale force winds].

But now, if the commitments being made here in Paris are carried through, that 8 degree number will be cut to 6 degrees F.
