6. World-Ready Scholar: Guaranteeing mastery in literacy, numeracy, and <br /> reasoning to tackle academic and professional challenges in the 21 st century. <br /> The City of Santa Ana should support the Santa Ana Unified School District's <br /> (SAUSD) Graduate Profile because it directly benefits the community by fostering a <br /> well-prepared, engaged, and skilled workforce. Here are some key reasons for support: <br /> 1. Economic Development—A well-educated workforce attracts businesses, <br /> creates job opportunities, and strengthens the local economy. The Graduate <br /> Profile ensures students develop the skills needed for career success. <br /> 2. Community Well-Being — Graduates who meet the profile's expectations—such <br /> as being critical thinkers, effective communicators, and responsible citizens— <br /> contribute to a safer and more vibrant community. <br /> 3. Reduced Crime & Social Challenges — Supporting student success reduces <br /> dropout rates, which correlates with lower crime rates and fewer social service <br /> burdens. <br /> 4. Civic Engagement & Leadership — The Graduate Profile promotes qualities like <br /> collaboration, resilience, and problem-solving, helping Santa Ana develop future <br /> leaders and active community members. <br /> 5. City-School Partnership— A strong relationship between the city and SAUSD <br /> ensures better alignment in resources, youth programs, and workforce <br /> development initiatives. <br /> To conclude, the SAUSD Graduate Profile represents a comprehensive and <br /> community-driven vision for student success for generations to come. By supporting the <br /> SAUSD Graduate Profile, Santa Ana is investing in its future—ensuring that students <br /> become productive, responsible, and engaged members of society. <br /> I propose that the City Council direct the City Manager to prepare a resolution <br /> expressing City support for the Santa Ana Unified School District Graduate Profile by <br /> formally recognizing its importance and aligning city resources to reinforce its key <br /> attributes. <br /> SUBMITTED BY <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Benjamin Vazquez <br /> EXHIBIT(S) <br /> 1.
