The Road Map Project, a community-wide effort to improve education in South Seattle and South King County, has unveiled its new website, www.roadmapproject.org.

This site is the product of feedback and insight from many individuals and organizations that support the Road Map Project's goal to double the number of students in South Seattle and South King County who are on track to graduate with a college degree or career credential by 2020. Additionally, the project is working to close the unacceptable achievement gaps for low-income children and children of color.

Roadmapproject.org aims to encourage people and groups to plug in and align with the project while also providing updates about improvements in education in South Seattle and South King County.
