Cholla Academy

This funding will pay the salary and benefits for an appropriately certified, highly qualified teacher for FY22 and FY23 whose primary job is to raise the educational level of all our students who have been impacted by lost instruction time. In addition, this funding will contract a school counselor for FY22 and FY23 who will conduct interventions that will focus on the social, emotional and mental health needs of all students and particularly students who have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Approximately 90% of Cholla students fit the categories stated and are deemed "at risk." We will ensure that the interventions implemented will address the academic impact of lost instructional time, and will respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students and particularly those students disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic by monitoring the amount of academic credit recovery achieved by our students and how they progress toward meeting graduation requirements and continue into post secondary opportunities.. In regard to Social, emotional and mental health of students, all students will be given a brief survey after an intervention activity/meeting which will collect feedback on how the intervention activity helped their social/emotional/mental health. These survey results will be compiled and reviewed periodically by the school counselor and shared with the school administration to assess the overall effectiveness.
