STAR-SLR Student Learning Recovery Program - An after-school program in partnership with county schools to address learning loss due to COVID. Launched in-person in 10 county schools, hired and trained over 100 new staff and tutors, and recruited hundreds of students. STAR's aggressive goals seek to increase students' GLE by 1.5 grade levels. First semester results show an average GLE gain in math of .5 and and average GLE gain in English language arts of .36. STAR was asked to expand the program into the largest county school district due to the high-level of execution of its first semester.

FEGAP - Family and Education GAP Assistance Program - a COVID response program and working partnership between JobSource, county K-12 schools, public social service providers, non-profit social service providers, and private sector housing providers. School partners refer student families at risk to FEGAP, which manages the stabilization efforts of each family, connecting them with partner support service providers across all sectors. FEGAP works with private sector housing providers to secure housing assistance for families at risk of eviction, stabilizing both the family and the property owner. FEGAP arranged home internet installation for impoverished student households and funded the internet for two consecutive school years. FEGAP also provided home computers to households at risk of missing school or losing employment due to lack of technology and/or connectivity. In FEGAP's first year, 427 households received assistance from the program. Internet requests were processed within 5 business days, drastically reducing the time students were not able to access e-learning. FEGAP was so successful, it was promoted statewide as a model COVID response program. FEGAP continues to check in with referred households, tracking stabilization efforts and student outcomes.
