Additionally, Opportunity Culture^® sites have committed more than 310 schools to launch Opportunity Culture^® designs in the next few years. Schools counted as “committed” include only those to which states or districts have committed formally via a grant agreement, a published strategic plan (such as a state ESSA plan), a contract with Public Impact^®, or some other means. For sites that have committed to a range, this count uses the minimum of that range. For sites that have committed to “up to” a certain number of schools, this count uses 75 percent of that maximum, rounded to a whole number.
