Kaizen Education Foundation dba South Pointe Junior High School

The LEA will utilize the 20% set-aside to target practices and interventions that address the learning loss experienced by subgroups most impacted by COVID-19 (those that qualify as low-income, students of color, English learners, children with disabilities, students experiencing homelessness, children in foster care, and migratory students); due to the socio-economic status of the school population, all students may benefit from these targeted practices. The remaining funds will be used to provide additional services that allow for enhanced learning opportunities, space and technology for social distance, and other items which will enable the school to remain open after the initial shutdowns from the crisis.

All student success rates will be monitored by school staff and if progress is not seen, adjustments will be made to instruction and interventions as needed per individual student in order to increase academic achievement All student behavior referral rates will be monitored by school staff, and if needs arise, new Social Emotional supports will be given to reduce behavior incidents and increase academic achievement in classes.

Setaside funds will be used for summer enrichment (using Beyond Textbooks and IXL) as well as for social emotional interventions with the Social Worker. The PBIS Coach will support SEL interventions directed by the Social Worker. ELteachers will use SEI Edge software to provide language interventions and instruction. SPED students will receive interventions via the iREADY software.

Remaining funds will be used to provide services to mitigate COVID spread (HVAC replacement, and outdoor space) as well as enrichment activities to address both academic and social-emotional learning loss. Funds will also be used to purchase marketing strategies to reengage the community, students, and staff. Moreover, students will be given access to curricula that address learning loss.
