In FY 19, the follow up contacts quarterly between the student participants and Achievement Mentor dramatically increased, this is because this measurement was being calculated wrong. In FY 18 it was measured by students who receive at least quarterly contacts; whereas, it should have been calculated by each individual contact made with the student. 

FY19:

Achievement Mentoring is an evidence-based program (Rutgers University) that provides intensive case management services at four middle schools and two high schools using the Behavioral Monitoring and Reinforcing Program (BMRP) approach. Youth and family members are connected to behavioral, academic, and social resources. Additionally, the Mentor helps students learn coping skills and job preparation skills.

FY19:

The target population is students who come to the attention of the guidance counselors and administrative offices along with other agencies included on the Local Care Team and the Detention Center who are known to be children of currently/formerly incarcerated parents.
