Overview
Mission

What it reported doing in 2016
Empower schools primary work has been the successful launch of the springfield empowerment zone partnership (sezp) which builds on the learnings from lawrence and created a zone that was truly a partnership among the district, the state, the union and empower schools.

This program was taken over by the national center on time and learning, inc. (EIN #04-3534001) on july 1, 2016 as a result of the merger.
