The SC State Department of Education has partnered with Graduation Alliance to provide additional academic support to students and their families who may be struggling during this time of alternative instructional settings. The program is called ENGAGE SC and there is no cost.

The eligibility criteria for referral are students who are in grades K-12 and who:

• did not engage in their school’s in-person or remote education offerings in Spring or Fall 2020; or

• are chronically absent; or

• are in danger of failing one or more classes; or

• are McKinney Vento eligible or are in foster care; or

• students whose families have requested additional support.

These criteria apply to both students participating in remote and in-person education offerings.

The academic coaching will be done virtually. The coaches will spend as much time with the students as needed. The academic coaching can begin as early as next week or within the next two weeks.
