*Estimates

 We could increase the % of graduates entering postsecondary institutions?  We could decrease the % of our graduates needing remediation postsecondary?  We could increase the % of students successfully completing their first year? Second year?  We could get more kids into “hard to fill” programs?  THEN, we could close the gap between the % of jobs requiring postsecondary completion, and the % of Kansans acquiring postsecondary completion?
