CHILDREN AT RISK OF NOT GRADUATING
It is the expectation of the Evansville Community School District Board of Education to offer assistance to school children who experience problems that seriously interfere with their learning, school attendance, preparation for employment, or satisfactory progress toward graduation. “Children at risk” is defined by the state statute.
Although it is not solely the school’s responsibility to alleviate the many social conditions that put children at risk, school programs and staff efforts are necessary to help children cope with health and social stresses that impair their ability to learn, progress through school, and graduate.
Therefore, the Board directs the District’s administrative team to annually, by August 15th, develop and implement a plan of action, to identify the “children at risk”.
