The Poughkeepsie City School District Community Schools’ Initiative is designed and implemented as part of the turnaround strategy for all Poughkeepsie City School District schools. The full service model ensures that children are academically, physically, emotionally, and socially supported to succeed in and out of the school environment and, just as importantly, beyond their high school engagement.
The specific metrics that the Poughkeepsie City School District model will seek to impact are:
Academic achievement
Student Attendance
Student and parent engagement
Access to adult education programs within the community
The number of participants attending the after-school / Saturday programs
School culture and climate
Student leadership in school/ community
The health and wellness of students
The social-emotional well-being of students
Community engagement in schools (higher education, business, city, county, community & faith-based organizations, etc.)
