Project Description:

"Saint Vrain Valley SD is proposing a development project which is an exceptional approach to priority four through a multi-faceted comprehensive strategy to address the unmet needs for the targeted high-need students; specifically Hispanic and ELL students at Skyline High School and it?s feeder schools. The project will benefit 3,800 students. Our proposed strategy is to provide students with a sequence of focused interventions to reduce the achievement gap and to make significant improvements. We have designed a system that brings focused supports and an augmented school year for elementary students to build a literacy foundation. The system then shifts focus on the Mathematics foundation in Middle School Students, with math labs and an augmented school year to build stronger mathematics skills. At the high school level we provide students with a science focus through a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics certification track which provides students with an alternative in high school. We have designed supports in the program that brings Data-Driven Decision Making and Information Technology supports to bear through-out the K-12 system of the targeted schools."
