CQE PROJECTS & JOINT INITIATIVES
Student Attendance/Achievement Project (SAAP)
The purpose of the Student Attendance/Achievement Project (SAAP) is to increase student achievement through a more effective and efficient process of identifying and intervening with students who exhibit high levels of absenteeism or truancy.
The SAAP project is currently operating in 15 elementary Toledo Public Schools and employs 33 School Community Partners (SCPs), (paraprofessionals) who work together as teams. SCPs discuss problems with the student’s parents/guardians and assist the parents or guardians in developing a plan that outlines steps to correct the attendance issue.
McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Project (MVHAP)

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Project (MVHAP) is a state funded project operating in 3 of the SAAP project schools that brings together Toledo Public Schools and Toledo Homeless Shelters for the purpose of providing direct instructional assistance and support services to homeless children and their families.

Toledo Public Schools paras who work as School Community Partners (SCPs) provide tutoring for these students during the school day and also provide educational and social services support as needed for their families.

(The Coalition for Quality Education provides the training, monitoring and technical assistance for SAAP & MVHAP projects.)  
TOLEDO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Summer Proficiency Tutoring Program
Summer Proficiency Tutoring Program was developed and implemented for the sole purpose of providing a more personalized form of motivation, encouragement and assistance for senior students who did not receive their high school diploma after not passing all five (5) areas of the 9th Grade Proficiency Test. Each year CQE has witnessed an increase of TPS students who are passing the Proficiency Tests. (A special graduation ceremony is provided for any of these students who pass the test.)
