Description
of District
Santa Rosa County School District, located in the panhandle area
of Northwest Florida, is the second most rapidly growing county
in the State. The district's student population has increased by
49% over the last decade. Beautiful while sand beaches, country
living and some of the best canoeing in the country have drawn 104,100
people to this medium-sized, suburban/rural county.
The Santa Rosa District Schools consist of: a total of 22,000 students;
1,250 employees; and 55 administrators county-wide. The school system
includes: 14 elementary, 6 middle and 6 high schools; a prekindergarten
center. a technical center, an adult school; community schools program,
an adult literacy program; and a variety of alternative programs.
Santa Rosa is proud of the academic record of our students. The
county high school drop out rate is slightly over 1% and 91% of
graduates entering Florida public community colleges and universities
passed the entry level placement tests. District standardized test
scores have risen 7% over the last four years. This impressive academic
record can be attributed to excellent teachers, dynamic leadership,
and extensive community partnerships. The school district has developed
models for a variety of programs that have been duplicated nationally,
including those listed
here.
Description of Project
BELL SOUTH FOUNDATION GRANT
| "Closing
the Gaps" - Highlights |
| Grant
begins: |
04-28-97 |
| Grant
ends: |
06-30-2000 |
Purpose: The
"Closing the Gaps" program is written in response to one of the
major challenges the school district is facing - how to address
the impact that poor health has on student performance in the classroom.
The grant will allow the school district to "grow its own" School
Health Technicians to work as school-based health professionals.
PHASE ONE:
1997-98 School Year
| 1. |
Locklin
Technical Center will modify their Certified Nursing Assistant
Curriculum to accommodate for school-based health needs. |
| 2. |
Students
successfully completing a core curriculum component and an internship
experience will apply for employment with an outside agency.
The agency will provide professional supervision of employees
stationed at the schools. |
| 3. |
Students
completing the program the first year will be placed at 3 schools
in the Santa Rosa County School District. |
| 4. |
Schools
will provide matching funds to the Bell South proposal the first
year. The second and subsequent years will be funded from school
budgets. |
Second and Third Years of the Proposal:
School Health
Technicians will be responsible for the following activities at
the schools:
The first year of Closing the Gaps has been incredibly successful.
School Health Technicians successfully completed the school year
at 6 sites. During the second year of the program, services will
be expanded to a total of 20 sites - all of the elementary and middle
schools in the District not currently being served.
The third year
of program activites will emphasize program continuation, additional
training and identifying supplemental funding resources.
