HISTORY MADE! Congratulations, Pathways Prep Academy!

Today, we celebrate Dr. Shinay Bowman, her incredible team, leadership, and especially the Scholars on the inaugural first day of Pathways Prep Academy!

What began as a bold vision is now a living reality—creating new pathways of opportunity, excellence, and possibility for our children and community.

C.O.P.E. has been honored and privileged to serve as Pathways Prep Academy’s Fiscal Sponsor throughout this journey, helping steward this vision from possibility to reality.

Dr. Bowman and team, you dreamed it, built it, and today the doors are OPEN!

Congratulations to the entire Pathways Prep Academy family. The pathway has been prepared; now let the journey begin!

We need to hear from you!

Whether you are a voter, election officer, and/or poll monitor, we want to hear about your experience.

We’re gathering feedback from community members, especially our Inland Region folks, to better understand what worked well. And what challenges, if any, did people encounter.

The survey may take 5-10 minutes. Upon completion, your name will be entered into a raffle. Raffle winners will receive a gift card.

Let’s work together to support accessible, transparent, and fair elections!
