MAYORS OFFICE TO COORDINATE AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS |
MAYOR’S OFFICE TO COORDINATE AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS
Many Project for Student Success recommendations already underway
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 25, 2008) -Mayor Karl Dean today announced his office is leading the charge to develop a coordinated system of afterschool programs for middle school students in Metro Nashville Public Schools.
Dean made the announcement while responding to the recommendations of Project for Student Success, a task force convened by the mayor to identify ways to reduce the number of students that drop out of Metro schools.
“A student doesn’t just wake up one day and decide not to go back to school,” Dean said. “It’s clear from the work of the task force and other research in this area that the path to dropping out can start as early as elementary and middle school.
“Providing afterschool programs that are accessible to all students, especially students identified as at-risk of dropping out, is a proven way to intervene in those students’ lives and provide the support they need to stay in school and be successful.”
The task force recommended providing access to quality afterschool programs as one way to address the impact of community and neighborhood risk factors. The task force found that such programs are particularly lacking for middle and high school students, and that the programs are most effective when introduced during the middle school years. |
