Success Academy
JAG-K, in partnership with the Kansas Department of Education, DCF, and three school districts implemented a multi-phase pilot project to help increase successful outcomes for our Kansas students in foster care.
The JAG-K Success Academy (SA) has a dedicated Career Specialist assigned to students in foster care. The students complete certain courses of their core education in an online learning environment, allow them to continue these classes regardless of a change in school placement. The student spends most of their academic day enrolled in the local public school for elective classes and extra-curricular activities.
If the student is placed outside of their current location, the JAG-K Success Academy Career Specialist will be responsible for advocating for the student, keeping track of their progress toward graduation, and providing necessary support to ensure that the student succeeds in their courses. The JAG-K Success Academy Program and its Career Specialists are overseen by our Director of Program Management, Mary Guerra.
