Invest in Out-of-School Time
- Extra help for kids not performing at grade level
- After-school academic programs for middle schools and high-need elementary school students
- Youth not doing well in school and at risk for criminal behavior need focused attention. Case management increases academic success, reduces delinquent behavior and helps youth develop positive goals for the future.
- Child care assistance
|
After-school programs provide important benefits for students. Children and youth only spend about 20 percent of their waking hours in school, so there are many hours free for risky behavior or academic opportunity. |

Help High-Risk Youth
- Reach and help youth at risk of dropping out.
- Case management for high-risk middle- and high-school-age youth
|
Youth not doing well in school and at risk for criminal behavior need focused attention. Case management increases academic success, reduces delinquent behavior and helps youth develop positive goals for the future. |

Support Student Health
- Provide school-based health centers in four middle schools and 10 high schools
|
Students face health problems that can create barriers to learning. School is a practical place to address student health needs. |
