William S Hart Education Foundation

Funding for special education is constantly requiring support from wish; they pride themselves on protecting every students' right to have the tools needed to succeed in the classroom, which includes our special needs classrooms. Wish works very closely with the district special education directors and teachers to provide items for all levels of special ed needs, from students needing light supervision to those needing one on one supervision. It's important for students to have spaces that can be utilized when they feel dysregulated, all in an effort to see less classroom avoidance and classroom elopements. With help from wish and working with special education teachers and social workers, the classrooms are designed to best meet the needs of these amazing students.

These are interesting times, and districts must create unique and creative ways to keep students in school. While the hart district enjoys an over 90% graduation rate, ensuring they have ongoing daily student attendance is more difficult. Therefore, wish has joined with the district and community partners in a program designed to encourage daily attendance by rewarding students who have perfect quarterly daily attendance. Ada (average daily attendance) numbers do not only provide schools with much needed education funding, but they lead to better socio-emotional and academic learning across the board for all students.
