The Austin Community Collaboration to Enhance Student Success (ACCESS) is an Austin Independent School District (AISD) led community collaboration of public and nonprofit agencies working together to address the emotional, behavioral, and social needs of students. Traditionally, a large number of community organizations have supported student learning in AISD. With the receipt of four years of federal funding through the Safe Schools/ Healthy Students' grant, ACCESS will enhance the way social services are delivered on campuses by creating a youth mapping program with geographic information to locate, target, and serve the students experiencing the greatest needs. ACCESS will also increase the level of resources available to students and their families by implementing a number of innovative prevention and treatment programs that will promote and encourage safe and positive learning environments. These efforts will culminate in a national model of data and resource sharing that provides an unprecedented technological opportunity for practitioners to assess their individual student needs and to also have immediate access to information about appropriate community resources. |
