<p>Have you ever been penalized for not doing assignments after you missed a day of school, due to something beyond your control?</p>
<p>The late Steve Jobs&#8217; wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, is giving two L.A. teachers the funds to keep such penalizations under control.</p>
<p>Kari Croft, and Erin Whalen came up with the idea of RISE High, a proposed Los Angeles charter high school that is mainly designed to benefit the needs of foster and homeless children whose learnings are frequently disrupted <a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-xq-winner-jobs-rise-20160912-snap-story.html">L.A. Times reports</a>.</p>
<p>10 different schools nationwide won $10 million dollars for their proposed projects, and they will be receiving the the money during a course of 5 years.</p>
<p>One of Kari and Erin&#8217;s goals is to make sure students who aren&#8217;t able to get to school, or abruptly move will have access to tutoring as well as the lessons they missed that day in school.</p>
<p>They would have personalized schedules that meet their needs and the needs of their families, that also adapt to their responsibilities.</p>
<p>Kari and Erin strive to serve the most underserved communities, and they aim to do what&#8217;s best for kids with kids, by lifting their strengths and building change.</p>
<p>There were reportedly over 700 applications that were judged by a panel of 42 judges, so that is definitely a big deal to the 10 teams that won. Congratulations and good luck to them all!</p>
