Abstract	The COVID-19 pandemic is putting immense strain on districts, schools, students, families, and all the stakeholders connected to them. During the Great Recession, many people enrolled in a postsecondary pathway based on the job market's weakness. Those without any postsecondary education fared particularly poorly after the Great Recession. Unfortunately, a similarly weak job market looms now with unemployment soaring and the economy in stasis, and students will again likely choose a postsecondary pathway rather than test the job market. College completion rates vary widely -- not all institutions give a student the same likelihood of success. This resource is aimed at district and school leaders looking for the clearest, most concrete ways to keep students on a postsecondary pathway after they graduate high school. Research shows that students who enroll immediately after high school are more likely to graduate from college and how equity gaps in postsecondary outcomes according to students' family income, race, and ethnicity are persistent across the country. Recent surveys show students are reconsidering their postsecondary plans for next academic year. This resource provides a rationale, questions to ask, key next steps, and the best available resources for five actions districts and schools can take to improve students' chances of postsecondary success in the next academic year.
