  5. High Impact Kids in seats: all kids at all schools will be in seats for all day, i.e., we will try to reduce unexcused absences toward zero over the next five years, so that the number of habitually truant students will be 2% or less. Goal #1 Improved attendance

  6. Rationale

  7. Rationale

  8. Analyze the existing truancy and attendance data for LAPS, including disaggregation by school, grade level, and AYP demographics. Develop public awareness campaign and communication plan with parents. Develop necessary tools to gather more data on the reasons for unexcused absences. Analyze open campus policy for LAHS – basis for leaving campus. Actions(tentative)

  9. High Impact Leveraging community resources to create diverse learning opportunities for students including service learning and vocational, i.e., we will put in place processes to match for all student’s their interests and needs with community resources Goal #2 Utilizing resources and creating more meaningful opportunities for all students

  10. School Match data indicated LAPS vocational opportunities were at the 10% and counseling resources were at 48%. Many LAPS students are engaged in learning opportunities provided by the community, e.g., music and dance, but do not get any credit or support from LAPS. Providing students a more diverse set of learning opportunities will increase motivation and student performance. Rationale

  11. Engage the County on the design, programming, and size of the Teen Center. • Hire a coordinator who would work with LAPS to: • Develop a plan for increased course offerings for innovative vocational programs in • Improve coordination of programming with UNMLA for credit recovery and alternative course options for students • Develop a database that matches student interests and needs with community resources and opportunities. • Develop a collaborative problem solving model including an ongoing process to do integrated, strategic resource planning across the community to meet key student needs • Develop a service learning requirement including work study for students to be more engaged in the community. Strategies(DRAFT FORM)
