San Antonio and Bexar County are rich with systems leaders committed to ensuring a more equitable future for the next generation. ‘Future Ready Bexar County’ is a plan to guide shared action. It provides leaders the shared language and practices needed to drive real progress towards a uniting goal: By 2030, we will increase postsecondary enrollment of Bexar County High School graduates in a degree or credential program to 70%. We elaborate on additional key metrics to track progress in the down downloadable Future Ready Bexar County Plan.

Intended Results

Together with partners, our board of directors, community leaders and the National Resource Network, we will establish shared priorities, vision and metrics for our community’s future readiness. In 2020, our board of directors and partners signed the UP Partnership Equitable Recovery Pledge, which challenged institution leaders to keep equity at the center of decision-making as they tackled the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. With this process, we are moving from pledge to plan.

Future Ready Bexar County Plan Commitments

All partners will participate in the Future Ready Bexar County Plan in the following ways from 2022 through at least 2025:

“This plan is the first, in my experience, that had a convener in UP Partnership to bring everyone together around a unified North Star and enable us to coordinate all of our efforts in a way that we anticipate is going to have the intended effect in the most efficient way.”
