Can a high school student get picked up on the elementary bus route and get dropped off at HS -etc.

-can we partner with embark? If they need a student id-partners that want to invest in purchasing our badges-or can it be a QR code on their phone through?

Metrotech can they partner with their business partnerships like restaurants, hair and nail, construction, heat and air, etc.

Can we partner with churches putting hygiene packages together-based on what type of hygiene they say they need or work with our local thrift shops to see if they will donate items to families in need on certain days of the month. Clothes, shoes, coats, blankets -hygiene items

Our Hispanic Church partners talking about the climate and safety in our schools surrounding immigration.

Jobs at OKCPS for our hs. Students that help them earn money and be at their job location- saves time, gas and travel time.

We can post our resources every where and mention them but if it doesn’t hit at the person needed or the time they needed they don’t hear or see it. Example my children were told multiple times they get free votech until 22, every time I reminded them they literally said no one told me!

Field trips to votech? To see how it works?

We have homeless alliance that prints the chronicles and now has a print shop near CLC could we partner with them for student id card printing?

Yes we are bigger than our surrounding schools, but what are they doing that is different?

Do away with the electives that students are not interested in?

Instead: Create clubs throughout the school that are intentionally connected to the student interest.

1. a selected hour of the day is created to be a club hour.

2. These club offerings are created based off of student voice. surveys, class projects, etc…

3. Each teacher in the building is trained to oversee the club.

4. Post-graduation information is provided during these clubs.

What does this accomplish?

Connection: Connections get made with students sharing the same interest and adults who advocate for those interests.

Beneficial electives: These electives are being created solely for student outcomes.

Extensions to afterschool opportunities: This would provide opportunities for these clubs to meet after school as an extension to what was being done in class.

I would like to know what are the top 5 reasons students are being suspended by high school.

Two part answer-

1. What resources do our teachers need to help their students break barriers to come to school? Funding chronic absenteeism projects on DonorsChoose.

2. What do our schools need district-wide to motivate or Allow students to come to school? Giving district wide funding for schools to have resources on hand that improve attendance.

1-Work with Embark to make sure every high school student has a second option to get to school if they miss there bus or can ride the bus.

2- Continue working with the Oklahoma City police PAL program. Make B.A.G a requirement to participate in those programs as an incentive.

Could consider a partnership with variety care to expose student to healthcare. Couple be healthcare providers as well as ancillary support roles.

I would also consider incentivizing flu shots and/or handwashing. I didn’t see your absentee data broken up into monthly trends however I would expect the winter months to be higher. A lot of insurance payers do so knowing the importance of preventative care.

Or maybe talking through their attendance history during enrollment each year with families and the student.
