REAP Expansion Project The REAP Expansion Project currently serves Black/African American students at the following schools: Centennial High School Oliver Elementary Parklane Elementary Aloha High School David Douglas High School Ron Russell Middle School Donald E. Long School Program
Attendance & Chronic Absenteeism The REAP Expansion Project is addressing this need in the following ways: Implement existing curricula specifically geared at reducing disciplinary incidents amongAfricanAmerican/Black students in schools.

Attendance & Chronic Absenteeism The REAP Expansion Project is addressing this need in the following ways: Collaborate with R.A.A.P . Counseling & Consulting to train educators on trauma informed care and culturally responsive discipline practices and methods to build student confidence, identity, and voice and reduce exclusionary discipline policies and practices.

Parent & Community Engagement The REAP Expansion Project is addressing this need in the following ways: Family Night Events Engaging parent s voice in school climate assessment work Interface activities with black adult professionals in our during & after school programs as guest speakers, college/career advisors and leadership coaches Leadership Conferences & Forums
Transitions The REAP Expansion Project is addressing this need in the following ways: 1) Provide structured time for students to engage in dialogues, leadership curriculum, community building, and leadership opportunities during and after school. REAP staff offer a visible presence during school hours, work with administration, teachers and counselors to support student s academic/social needs. 2) Coordinate leadership opportunities for students to interface with business leaders and elected officials to elevate student voice.
Project Outcomes The anticipated goals of the project include: 1. Serve [224] students in REAP school-based programs [Outcome: Black/AA = 320 Non-Black/AA = 405] 1. Serve [1,000] students in REAP major leadership conferences [Outcome: Black/AA = 652 Non-Black/AA =134] 1. Facilitate [4] School-wide culturally responsive coaching/training on restorative practices related to discipline and trauma informed care [Outcome:13] 2. Administer [10] Student-led, researched based plan to improve the school climate of schools through a racial equity lens [Outcome: 5]
Closing Remarks The REAP Expansion Project offers the following unique element: 1.What is one thing that would not have occurred without the grant funding, that you know directly impacts student achievement, student growth and graduation rates? 6 of the 7 schools benefiting from our services would NOT have services DEDICATED to support Black/AAStudents 2.If you could double the dollar amount, what does the next leg of it look like and what would you address? Increase the number of schools/students served with the programs we currently offer. We already have schools on the waiting list 3.Who do you think works with AfricanAmerican/Black students? What is contributing to the results you are seeing? Schools and White-led organizations are working with AA/Black students? I believe HB 2016 addresses what the results are: significant achievement & resource gaps when it comes toAA/Black students. This is due to a lack of educator training, resource allocation to support partnerships with black community-based organizations
