Summary:
|
A school district may offer to provide flexible hours and days of attendance for students who are at risk of dropping out of school or as a result of attendance requirements under the TEC. 25.092, or will be denied credit for one or more classes. The Optional Flexible School Day Program (OFSDP) allows the school district to develop and make application for a program providing this flexible time.
The OFSDP will provide an additional opportunity for students on any secondary level campus with special circumstances to have a more accommodating schedule. This could range from a student who excels at the same level of a student historically identified in the Global Prep Academy to a student who is in jeopardy of not receiving credit due to having to take care of family (i.e. sick parent or relative or being the primary caregiver of siblings).
The Crowley ISD OFSDP requires the student to attend a minimum of 20 hours a week and is staffed with certified teachers to support the program. The staff includes administrator Felicia Tate, counselor, Debra DeNicola; a Global Prep Instructor Sam Pipes, which will oversee academics and ensure oversight and proctoring of the end of course exams and STAAR test; 2 learning coaches, Vanessa Montgomery and Wander Hunt. All Global Prep staff are highly qualified.
In 2020-2021 there were zero (0) students that needed the Optional Flexible School Day Program caveat to graduate. There were other students that were assessed through the OFSDP but were identified as better suited for other CISD academic programs including, but not limited to Global Prep Academy, Bridges, Panther Academy, and Eagle Academy. All of whom either provided the opportunity for students to receive advance credit, credit recovery and/or modify attendance. In 22-23 we are projected to service a total of 27 students in Global Prep. We are uncertain on the number of students that will require Optional Flexible School Day at this time due to students currently registering. The actual number for 2020-2021 was 38 students enrolled in Global Prep Academy. |
