The release notes Okaloosa County has approximately 9,500 students whose parents are active-duty military or work on local military installations. It adds that the mobility required of military families can create challenges for students, so a focus of the new program will be improving the college entrance exam scores of military-connected students.
The release said ENGAGE will meet that goal through three strategies:
Creating a STEAM based curriculum with a focus on healthy body and mind strategies
Providing in-class support through additional technology components and STEAM coaching
Providing unique tutoring opportunities through after-hours support and resources
The release also said the district appreciates the positive impacts that military families have on our community and that the district is excited to deepen its partnership with military families through the DoDEA grant.
