Included in the Crossover program is <br />a subset of high-risk students who continue to display disruptive behaviors and experience <br />ongoing academic failure. In this population, each student is assigned a team and evaluated <br />weekly. Interventions may include up to 4 additional mentoring days per week, ongoing <br />communication with the school staff, advocacy in testing/development of Individualized Education <br />Plan (when indicated), additional support with transportation/medical/legal issues, and in cases <br />of imminent school drop-out, an online homeschool program administered full-time at the <br />Crossover Center. <br />Crossover provides transportation from 14 different schools over the course of each week. <br />Students who attend a school not on the route, are transported by family members to the Center. <br />Once at the Center, students receive a hot meal (provided by The Source), participate in the group <br />Crossover XPress character development program followed by working one-to-one with an <br />assigned volunteer academic mentor. After tutoring, students are transported to basketball <br />practice which takes place in gyms throughout the county including Storm Grove and Gifford <br />Middle School, the Gifford Youth Achievement Center and the Intergenerational Center. Parents <br />pick up their child at 7pm after basketball training. <br />The projected number of unduplicated children to be served is ninety (90). <br />
