Like traditional public schools, charter public schools are facing pivotal decisions, particularly given the imminent deadline of September 30, 2024, to utilize pandemic relief funds from the ESSER (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) Fund. EduSolve is proud to work with Charter Schools USA in making informed, equitable decisions amid the challenges posed by post-pandemic learning shifts and  funding drop-off. In doing so, they have optimized $24M in funding. We partnered to install tangible system solutions and sustainability measures that measure ROI to preserve LOI.

Mayor Muriel Bowser is leading the charge in our nation’s capital by declaring, “Strong communities and a skilled and well-educated workforce are the backbone of the District

of Columbia’s continued economic growth.” We are heeding the call by helping OSSE secure and implement a $21M GEAR UP grant. The project is expanding access to rigorous coursework and career exploration opportunities. EduSolve is providing mentoring and support services for social emotional development that leads to college and career transferable skills. The DC GEAR UP project will also drive increases in local average rates of high school graduation, postsecondary enrollment, and postsecondary completion. The vision of the project is for 80 percent of the DC GEAR UP students to graduate from high school in four years, 80 percent enroll in postsecondary education within one year, for 100 percent of the DC GEAR UP graduates to receive the GEAR UP scholarship and 70 percent of the enrollees complete a postsecondary degree within 6 years.

We built the framework for strategic planning tapping into authentic community engagement. 

Stakeholders are clear, they want the school district: “Ensuring a Secure Finish, Achieving Resilience”. This is the community-wide proactive initiative and focal point for the conclusion of the school year, and strategic plan formation underway now. EduSolve redefines 

parent engagement in public schools through our campaigns on active involvement, collaboration, and participation of parents or guardians in their child’s educational experience. It goes beyond traditional parent-teacher interactions and involves parents taking an active role in supporting their child’s learning, attending school events, and contributing to the overall school environment.

MTSS fidelity of interventions is up, way up! How do we know? We see it in the data. EduSolve customized a propensity matching intervention approach and observation tool so leaders can see, review, and continuously improve. Climate and culture gains are real and sustainable in student motivation, community building and cooperation.

OSSE’s strategic plan is clear: foster student and staff well being. We are building OSSE’s social and emotional learning standards as the underpinning to their future implementation plan. This is largely premised on EduSolve’s SCAN Analysis Report, commissioned by OSSE to organize community assets and honor the needs of youth across the City. Through this process, various collaborative efforts were conducted; including writing groups, focus groups, in-person and virtual feedback engagements, and a survey.

Norwalk Public Schools understands that a teaching and learning culture should permeate every facet of a school district’s operations, extending from the superintendent’s office and academic core priorities to the individual classrooms. We customized a social and emotional development strategic plan, that is the unifying force that brings together district priorities, influencing central office staff, school leaders, teachers, students, and families alike.
