Kaizen Education Foundation dba Summit 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.

Due to the demographics of the LEA, nearly all students align to a subgroup struggling due to COVID-19; therefore, set-aside funds will be used to provide services for all students with hghest priority given to students who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 such as low-income families, students of all races and genders, children with disabilities, English learners, migratory students, students experiencing homelessness, and children and youth in foster care. A specials teacher will be hired to expand the visual arts program, and a school counselor will provide social-emotional services. In addition, students with disabilities and English Learners will receive assistance from software purchased to target their instructional needs.

Remaining funds will be used to recruit and retain students and staff lost due to COVID shutdowns (social media ads, postcards, online marketing, website, attendance clerk) and to retain staff that cannot be afforded due to loss of enrollment funding. Moreover, COVID mitigation will be provided through the purchase of extra technology for teachers as well as HVAC updates. And finally, students will have access to safe technology with extra curriculum, GoGuardian, and firewall.
