State, Federal and Student Support Programs

The mission of State, Federal, and Student Support Programs is to provide resources for strategies that assist students most "at-risk" of failing and/or dropping out of school.  These strategies include:

  • Instructional support through grant programs, including support for passing state & federally mandated assessments
  • Campus support in "closing the gap" between high-performing and low-performing student groups through program ideas and recommendations
  • Student/family support for students struggling with issues including academic, discipline, and/or social through connections with social services and appropriate school and community agencies
