781 | Cincinnati Speech & Reading Intervention Center | [NAME] | 221 | The Next Generation of Personalized Learning | We are re-imagining and revolutionizing the traditional education model using a web-based tool that enhances personalized learning through Individual Learning Plans (ILP) for each student combined with a "One Device Per Student" initiative to significantly enhance the pace of individual student learning growth for our inner-city public school students. The web-based tool, Compendium, is a comprehensive interactive learning support tool for students, parents, teachers, and all school staff.  This incredible tool allows everyone to collaborate on student ILP goals as well as access a wide array of different instruction applications designed to significantly increase the pace of student learning growth. Adding personal devices for students provides the opportunity for teachers to design instruction plans targeted toward the advancement of each student's learning based upon their current level of competency in each core subject area in addition to the development of age-appropriate personal and interpersonal skills. Compendium is the next generation learning tool that personalizes learning through dynamic scheduling and customized educational planning. Competency-based and interest-based learning are now at the same level as standards-based learning, and Compendium allows the flexibility to navigate seamlessly through all three. Students will develop and enhance their problem solving and independent thinking skills, which are not only crucial to the global economy but also required in our ever-changing world. | 962 | Bobbi [NAME] | Cincinnati Speech and [NAME] | 1812 Central Pkwy., Cincinnati, OH 45214 | [PHONE] | [EMAIL] | Yes | Yes | Yes | 1761750

45013 | Washington Court House City | Fayette | 261 | Washington Court House City Schools- Using Technology to Implement a 1:1 Learning Environment | Washington Court House City Schools (WCHCS) will utilize the awarded funds to create and support learning environments that are supported by a one-to-one technology initiative.  The project is designed to significantly improve learning and teaching through the personalization of strategies, tools, and supports for students and educators that are aligned with college- and career-ready standards and graduation requirements.  We are not simply purchasing devices.  We are building philosophy, training our teachers, and helping parents understand our approach.  Our goals are focused on accelerating student achievement and deepening student learning by meeting the academic needs of EACH student and increasing the effectiveness of educators.       Most one-to-one technology implementation strategies are based on the new tool (the new technology) as the focus of the program. Our project focuses on breaking away from the limited vision that one-to-one computing is about the device.  If that is our only focus, we are doomed to waste our resources and are simply implementing a program that uses a $500 (or more) pencil.  We focus on the instruction and learning supported by various tools.        Technology will play a key role in meeting student need and improved instruction.  While one-to-one computing might work as a marketing slogan designed to convince schools to buy as many computers as possible, it is a simplistic and short- sighted phrase that suggests if every student had a device and if every teacher were trained to use these devices, then student learning would rise automatically. Adding a digital device to the classroom without a fundamental change in the culture of teaching and learning will not lead to significant improvement. This is the emphasis of our proposed project.  We ensure that technology is seen not as just another initiative, but as integral to curriculum, instruction, and student learning! | 2200 | [NAME], Superintendent | Washington Court House City Schools | 306 Highland Ave. Washington Court House, Ohio 43160 | [PHONE] | [EMAIL] | Yes | Yes | Yes | 2476120

45138 | Worthington City | Franklin | 258 | Personalized Learning through One to One [NAME] 9 through 12. | This Worthington Schools project aims to increase student achievement, achieve a reduction in spending and utilize a greater share of resources in the classroom by providing 1:1 mobile devices to students grades nine through twelve. The project will allow for differentiation in genuine ways for all students with teachers who mine just-in-time data about the effects of differentiation; collaboration among students, teachers and parents who use technology every day in their collective pursuit of learning and increase the economic competitiveness of the region by preparing students for the technology saturated workplace. The project will reduce student failures in CORE subject areas of math, science, English, and social studies reducing costs associated with filling classroom seats with students repeating CORE courses to earn credits to graduate by placing students at the center of the learning experience, providing them with extended projects that require laptop use mirroring workplace assignments; and allowing students to be more organized and efficient (Weber, 2009) resulting in more student engagement and reduced behavioral referrals which cause less time in the learning environment for disruptive students.Worthington will use its Linworth Alternative School site as an early rollout site to provide data around use of devices, changes in classroom practice, and gather data to anticipate barriers to full rollout in our two large comprehensive high schools. Special attention will be paid to the level of support required for our teachers when students can experience ubiquitous use of technology instead of sporadic, occasional use and the change in planning behaviors required for such use in and out of the classroom. Students will have immediate access to new information for use in rich mathematical tasks and deeper and broader text dependent writing opportunities across the curriculum, as well as, greater opportunities to collaborate within and outside the physical school facility. Our teachers will become more connected, learning from a global network of educators and transcending current limits in their own professional development. In the long term, Worthington students will be better prepared for college and career next steps in the technology saturated learning and work environments. | 2757 | Trent Bowers | Worthington City Schools | 200 E Wilson Bridge Rd, [NAME] 43085 | [PHONE] | [EMAIL] | Yes |  | Yes | 2718370

45278 | Carrollton Exempted Village | Carroll | 443 | POWER - Providing Opportunities With Extraordinary Results | Carrollton Exempted Village School District serves nearly 2,300 students in grades K thru 12 in communities throughout rural Carroll County, OH (population 29,000). On the most recent state report card, the district received an Excellent with Distinction. There are no postsecondary main campuses or joint vocational schools located in the county. Despite retaining a stable population, the district has responsibly cut over $6.3 million in the last decade (nearly 25 percent the overall operating budget) while maintaining excellent academics and programs. These cuts have driven the closing of three elementary schools, a reduction in teachers and administrators, and elimination of 15 bus routes. Without additional efficiency measures, the district will face a deficit in 2015.       The POWER project aims to leverage partnerships and resources in the Carroll County energy and agricultural sectors to improve opportunities for students. Carroll County is experiencing unprecedented growth due to the rapid expansion of the shale economy.  Carroll County has more wells (333) than any other county in Ohio and more than the next five largest producing counties combined. [NAME]'s streets are literally jammed with energy industry representatives. It is estimated that nearly 95 percent of Carroll County land is under lease to an energy company. International pipeline connectivity has occurred in the county and a new $750 million energy conversion plant is due for completion in 2017.      This proposal focuses on one major objective - to engage the energy and agriculture industries in new symbiotic relationships supporting enhancements for students. This bold challenge is to create connections with these industries and retain revenue in the district that can be leveraged to benefit students, not only in the Carrollton school district, but throughout Ohio, the United States, and globally!       Two Straight A Fund goals are addressed in this proposal:   -        Student achievement   -        Significant advancement to utilize a greater share of resources in the classroom       Three strategies are proposed:       -        Strategy 1: Significantly partner with energy industry businesses to create an Energy Resource Dynamics program that establishes new pathways for students leading to jobs and postsecondary opportunities in the energy field.         -        Strategy 2: Enhance project-based STEM education to prepare all students for career and college readiness in engineering, agriculture, and safety.       -        Strategy 3: Reduce operating costs by becoming a leader in the use of lower-cost natural gas technologies and distance/ blended learning technologies.        There is major emphasis on emplacing systems and discipline enabling performance management, continuous improvement, and evaluation. A primary challenge is a lack of in-house capacity to organize these new systems and protocols. As such, new systems will be developed and implemented in partnership with Battelle for Kids and New Growth Group. One goal of engaging external service providers is to develop high quality systems that are sustainable.  To accomplish this, the external service providers will be required to provide professional development services to teachers and staff as part of their scopes of work.      The total proposed budget is $4,060,100.  The conservative estimate is that the project will save the district $215,000 annually. This project is designed to be entirely sustainable.  Nearly all costs are one-time expenditures for curriculum upgrades, facilities upgrades, bus conversion, technology purchases, and professional development to support adoption of new curricula.  The ongoing new costs totaling $36,000 will support the newly created POWER Coordinator position. The cost of the position will be sustainable due to savings in other aspects of the project. | 2300 | [NAME] | Carrollton Exempted Village School District (CEVSD) | 252 N.

45286 | [NAME] Exempted Village | Cuyahoga | 406 | S.T.R.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Real-world applications, Engineering, Arts, & Mathematics) for Progress | The "Creating a S.T.R.E.A.M. of Progress" project will partner with an existing provider of service to students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), the Cleveland Clinic Center for Autism in Shaker Heights, to create an innovative variation of STEM programming which also embeds the fine, performing, and language Arts and engages students in Real-world learning applications/experiences that will seek to provide additional collaborative learning opportunities for typical students within Gurney Elementary School, [NAME], [NAME], and [NAME] (via additional S.T.R.E.A.M.-based courses/ programs/learning experiences/access to systemically employed collaborative technology resources designed to maximize student achievement, and internship/research opportunities throughout the year) and to both [NAME] Village School District students and students from our Consortium partner (neighboring district, West [NAME]) who are currently receiving their instructional services through placement at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Autism in Shaker Heights and/or other private providers.  This project will bring the district-enrolled students (for whom we currently pay to receive educational services from the current ASD provider, the Cleveland Clinic Center for Autism (CCCA) and pay to transport them to and from the CCCA for this year-round service) back to the district to receive the existing ASD services provided in addition to S.T.R.E.A.M.-programming which will be housed within our existing Chagrin Falls Middle School/High School campus.  This project will establish a local ASD provider option, which has the potential to significantly reduce costs paid by the Consortium districts for our students currently served out of district and will re-purpose our current facilities, which will allow students with Autism Spectrum Disorder from our Consortium to be served locally at a minimum Consortium cost savings of $53,104 per year for decreased transportation costs, a decrease of approximately $245,000 per year (through approximately a 50% tuition reduction to what is currently paid to CCCA via the localized campus), allow other eligible students from surrounding districts to be served in a more local venue that provides enhanced programming via S.T.R.E.A.M. | 1989 | [NAME] | [NAME] Exempted Village Schools | 400 East Washington Street [NAME], OH 44022 | (440) 247-5500 | bob.hunt@chagrin schools.org | Yes | Yes | Yes | 5045992

The Primary School has already invested money in training building leaders and acquiring some of the materials needed to begin instruction during the current school year.  After sending three teachers to New York to train at Columbia University they have brought back information to the rest of the staff.  Our next step is to bring Columbia University to the Primary School and formally train all teachers on the approach.  Now that teachers have been using the approach for one year they will have insightful questions and be at an appropriate place to receive their learning.  In addition the training the Primary School needs to expand their text selections so students can use these stories as models of the various forms of writing, including non-fiction which has an increased emphasis in the new standards.  By utilizing this approach we hope that our students are able have an increased ability to write persuasively, asserting opinions, and creating their own narrative writing. By providing this instruction at earlier grades our need for remediation should decrease and provide savings in that area.  We would also expect to see an increase in achievement on both local (Measures of Academic Progress, AIMS Web) and state assessments (Next Generation Assessments). | 375 | [NAME] | Indian Hill Primary School | 6702 Drake Road Cincinnati, Ohio 45243 | [PHONE] | [EMAIL] | Yes |  |  | 30000

46763 | Olentangy Local | Delaware | 420 | [NAME] for Phonological weaknesses | The Olentangy Local School District would like to administer the Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing Second Edition (CTOPP-2) to all incoming kindergarten and 1st grade students.  Screening tests of phonological awareness skills in grades K & 1 predict with 95% accuracy who will have difficulties learning to read. ([NAME], 1997; California State Department of Ed., 2000) The goal of the project is to identify underlying phonological awareness skills necessary for reading development, so building administrators can be more purposeful about classroom placement with teachers that can provide targeted instructional practices.  "Phonological awareness is the most potent predictor of success in learning to read." ([NAME], 1994) This early identification and targeted instruction will allow for early intervention and support to reduce the number of struggling students.  [NAME] tells us: "...critical levels of phonological awareness can be developed through carefully planned instruction, and this development has a significant influence on children's reading and spelling achievement..." (Ball & Blachman, 1991; Bradley & Bryant, 1985; Byrne & Fielding-Barnsley, 1989, 1991; Connor, Jenkins, Leicester, & Slocum, 1993) In addition, Torgesen reports children who are weak in phonological awareness show improved reading performance after being given intervention designed to improve their phonological awareness..." (Ball & Blachman, 1991; [NAME], Fowler, Stone & Winbury, 1994; Cunningham, 1990; [NAME] et. Al., 1988; Torgesen, Morgan & Davis, 1992). Appropriate early classroom intervention supports the RTI process, reduces the number of students identified with specific learning disabilities in reading, or more specifically, dyslexia, and allows for greater intensity of service for students with more severe difficulties.  "What is critical is that difficulties learning to read are identified as early as possible, and that intensive and well-targeted interventions be provided to students who are lagging behind...

62927 | University Of Cincinnati | [NAME] | 223 | Step Up to College | Ohio high school seniors experience a dramatic and, at times, daunting change in their instructional environment when they matriculate to a college or university, even when the matriculation is to a two year associate degree program.  If Ohio seniors are given the opportunity to be prepared for these changes, such as the increased depth in study and research expectations, massive repositories of digital courses and content, and courses presented in online and blended format (while still in high school), they will spend much less time during their first year in higher education orienting themselves to this new environment.  This grant proposal requests funds to develop two online classes in order to utilize a greater share of resources in the classroom and increase student achievement - (1) an online learning and digital information resources class for high school teachers and (2) a dual credit "Step Up to College" class for high school seniors, particularly students identified as "at risk for college success", taught by the prepared high school teachers with mentoring assistance from university instructors. | 200 | [NAME] | University of Cincinnati | [NAME] 210002 | [PHONE] | [EMAIL] | Yes |  | Yes | 272311
63123 | Wright State University | Montgomery | 498 | Increasing PAX in Ohio | The first 1,000 hours of elementary school happens in First Grade-if the children attend school 180 days for about 5.5 hours each day in the classroom. Multiple "gold-standard" randomized, longitudinal trials show that PAX Good Behavior Game and its expanded components (PAX for short) immediately improve every indicator of school success, which then have lasting effects on almost every indicator of academic, behavioral, health, social or productive indicator for the next 20 years, with the highest independently audited return on investment (30-to-1) for any elementary school improvement strategy.       After decades of gold-standard research following up on GBG benefits, PAXIS Institute-in cooperation with multiple national, state/provincial or local government agencies (e.g., U.S. Health and Human Services; Public Health Agency of Canada) and institutions of higher learning* in the U.S. and Canada-has launched major scale-ups of PAX GBG (the commercial version of Good Behavior Game) in North America for more than 650 schools and 105,000 children-with Ohio schools leading the US federally and locally funded implementations in 11 counties (Greene, Licking, Clarke, Madison, Putnam, Wood, [NAME], [NAME], Auglaize, Hardin and now Franklin) along with earlier two demonstrations in Cuyahoga and Mahoning in the late 1990s. With the recruiting help of multiple community organizations from these and other counties (e.g. Mental Health and Recovery Boards, Nationwide Children's Hospital, United Ways, Children, Families First Councils and the Ohio Office of Prevention & Wellness), this project (partnered by Wright State University and PAXIS Institute) expands the reach and accessibility of these proven, cost-effective educational tools to 1,200 first-grade classrooms (30,000 students) in Ohio based on prior large scale ups across the US and Canada, with a previously proven rate of return on investment of  $139 million that creates the foundation for sustainability.       * [NAME], Johns Hopkins, Penn State, Case Western, University of South Carolina, University of Maryland, and University of Arizona in the U.S. and the University of Manitoba, University of Alberta, and University of Calgary in Canada. | 30000 | Dr. [NAME] | Wright State University | 3640 Colonel [NAME] | [PHONE] | [EMAIL] | Yes | Yes | Yes | 2299283

65268 | Tri-Rivers | Marion | 408 | RAMTEC Career Technical Education Statewide Partnership | The United States and Ohio, in particular, face a skills gap.  A 2011 Manpower survey found the number of employers struggling to fill positions is at an all-time high.  The survey documented that 52 percent of U.S. employers are experiencing difficulty filling mission-critical positions within their organizations, up from 14 percent in 2010.  Skilled trade jobs, which require more than a high school diploma but not a four-year degree, topped the list of hardest to fill jobs of 2011. Taking immediate steps to address the skills gap is an educational and economic necessity for Ohio.  Many emerging jobs in critical sectors such as health care, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing will require higher math and analytical skills than the trade jobs of the past.  Businesses demand a highly trained and educated workforce.  States that adopt policies that expand access to education and training for workers at all levels will be positioned to meet the growing demand for higher skills and credentials.  If Ohio wants to be at the forefront of innovation, it must foster a transition from traditional manufacturing  to new high-tech advanced manufacturing as the foundation of their economy.  These are the forgotten skilled trade careers that are often the overlooked STEM careers.                         This grant would expand and replicate [NAME] (Robotics & Advanced Manufacturing Technology Education Collaborative), an existing advanced manufacturing "Best Practice" initiative currently located in Marion, Ohio at the Tri-Rivers Career Center and in collaboration with Marion Technical College and the Marion-OSU regional campus, across the state in each region with the highest concentration of manufacturing jobs as identified by JobsOhio.  Seven additional Career and Technical Centers that have post-secondary institutional partnerships will share a unique new Ohio instructional delivery model that teams middle school, secondary, adult education, and post-secondary educators in the cooperative conveyance of instruction for grades 6-16.  The key to student achievement in this model is a focus on individual competency mastery, rather than typical "seat time".  The [NAME] model aims to create high school graduates with industry recognized credentials and certifications in the area of advanced manufacturing, along with articulated and/or transcripted college credit in order to provide them with the academic rigor necessary to compete and thrive in the area of these new high skilled jobs.  These students benefit directly from ongoing mentoring guidance with educational and business team leaders that, through proximity and new learning modalities, are challenged and prepared academically and are technically knowledgeable in their chosen career field. This occurs through ongoing industry pre-apprenticeship and job placement opportunities that demonstrate work ready skill verification by achieving endorsed industry certifications.  The instructional delivery model assures an ever-growing student base through the incorporation of middle school units of foundation skills and career exploration instruction to introduce students to the growing manufacturing career pathways at an earlier age.                      Ohio's manufacturing industry is ranked third in the nation in total US manufacturing output and workforce.  Manufacturing in Ohio impacts nearly 16.7% of the state domestic product (80.7 billion), almost double that of any other private industry sector.  Ohio's manufacturing accounted for 637,625 direct jobs in 2011 and an annual payroll of more than $38 billion, the highest of any sector in the state.  The National Association of Manufacturers stated, "88% of manufacturers are having difficulties finding qualified workers".  [NAME] and its educational partners want to help Ohio address and meet these critical needs by filling these shortages that exist within our skilled trade manufacturing careers across the state. | 6754 | [NAME] | Tri-Rivers Career Center | 2222 marion - Mt.

132787 | Springfield Academy of Excellence | [NAME] | 541 | Consistent High Quality K-6 Math and Science via Blended Learning | Springfield Academy of Excellence (SAE) is focusing on the goals of academic achievement and better and greater utilization of resources within the classroom. We will be focusing on an expanded learning environment that brings consistent high-quality Math and Science into the classroom through the blending of distance learning, web-based classrooms and the regular classroom teacher. Smaller schools need to address the typically weak science programs and trained science staff, available to them, in order to prepare students for the competitive STEM world. By bringing community and web programs to the classroom through both math and science it is intended that not only will we be able to better utilize all of our resources but improve achievement.   The expanded learning environment will allow our staff to better meet the needs of all of our students. Typically, the greatest amount of extra effort goes to the lower performing students. With the state mandated assessment of progress among the gifted population, we need to find new affordable ways to address their needs also. Currently we have two week blocks throughout the year (basically dividing the summer vacation) where students can work from home or come to school for enrichment programs. By gathering all available math and science community and web resources we can develop a program that has no physical boundaries. By providing tablets with internet access or arranging through Huntington Bank for low interest loans for home computers; we will be reducing out staffing and allowing one teacher to guide many more students.   As a secondary goal, our community partners will be utilizing our acquired equipment to provide ESL and reading instruction to all parents.  By improving their income level, which is one of the detriments of student achievement, this will also assist in our efforts. | 260 | [NAME] | Springfield Academy of Excellence | 623 South Center Street, Springfield, OH 45506 | [PHONE] | [EMAIL] | Yes |  | Yes | 172464

143305 | Treca Digital Academy | Marion | 247 | Optimizing Medicaid In Ohio Schools | This project will help schools claim funds available to them through Optimzing Medicaid in Oho Schools program, which reimburses schools for the cost of clinical services provided to low income special needs students. Over 85% of available funds are left unclaimed by Ohio schools every year, primarily due to the unwieldy administrative processes involved in filing Medicaid claims. Project partners will develop software that transmits data recorded by clinicians directly to Medicaid billers, automating the process of filing claims and driving hundreds of thousands of dollars back into classrooms. | 8400 | [NAME] | TRECA Digital Academy | 100 Executive [NAME], Ohio 43303 | [PHONE] | [EMAIL] | Yes | Yes | Yes | 219000

143537 | Virtual Community School Of Ohio | Franklin | 483 | Online Arts/Academic Integrated Curriculum Activities | This project will address each of the three application goals:  Student achievement: Students will increase their academic achievement through having easy access to an interesting, engaging, universally designed learning (UDL) arts/academic online K-12 English Language Arts and Mathematics common core curriculum which includes video modules and activities to enhance all student achievement, developed by students, teachers, professionals and parents that will motivate them to seek a deeper understanding of the content in all curricular areas.     Research has demonstrated, high-quality arts education engages students in the work of learning, thinking, communicating, creating and collaborating. It fosters the 21st century skills needed for advanced learning and career success. Additionally, at-risk students with high levels of arts engagement achieve better outcomes in academics, college enrollment, civic engagement and participation in professional careers than did their peers with low levels of engagement (Catterall, Dumais & Hampden-Thompson, 2012;Catterall, 2009).  It also helps meet the increasing demand for imagination and creativity that enrich culture and drive economic progress and help solve the problems of a complex, global society. Studies link arts instruction to development of skills needed for learning, such as the spatial-temporal reasoning used in mathematics and the phonological awareness needed for learning to read ([NAME], 1998; Hetland, 2000; National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 2000). The Dana Foundation (Asbury & Rich, 2008) has shown that learning in the arts strengthens neural networks used in other types of learning.    Spending reductions in the five-year fiscal forecast: District curriculum and textbook costs will be reduced by providing free access to high quality, age appropriate K-12 online arts/academic integrated curriculum materials and activities for all students. Access to this free online curriculum will save districts the cost of purchasing or leasing arts and academic integrated curriculum materials. This project will utilize the skills, knowledge, experience and expertise of online curriculum, instructional and computer platform experts to provide students, teachers and parents with a free K-12 online arts/academic integrated curriculum. Staff from Virtual Community School will develop the online curriculum with input from the hands on classroom experience of teachers, administrators, parents and students. Teachers, administrators, parents and students who attend Richland Academy of Excellence, The Falcon Academy of the Creative Arts, will develop the online video modules, demonstrations and lessons with the help of the media expertise from the staff of Journey 360.    Utilization of a greater share of resources in the classroom: A greater share of district resources will be directed to the classroom by providing all students, teachers and parents with free access to a user friendly, comprehensive (K-12) online arts/academic integrated curriculum with video modules and activities for students. Having easy access to this online curriculum  and activities will increase teacher efficiency and effectiveness in the utilization of critical classroom resources such as increased individualized instruction time to develop 21st-century skills, efficiency in student data analysis through online links, and increased opportunities for collaboration through online access to professionals, peers, and parents. Ultimately this project will produce a free online arts/academic K-12 ELA and Math curriculum with video demonstrations and activities for students, teachers, administrators, parents, etc. similar to how the Khan Academy functions. The Khan Academy is a non-profit educational website whose mission is to provide "a free world-class education for anyone anywhere". | 1600000 | [NAME], [NAME] | Virtual Community School of Ohio | 340 Waggoner Road, Reynoldsburg, OH 43068 | [PHONE], ext. 2002 | [EMAIL] | Yes | Yes | Yes | 3573996.08
143610 | Arts & College Preparatory Academy | Franklin | 465 | Creating Our Future | Arts & College Preparatory Academy (APCA), the highest performing  charter high school in the state, five-time ODE School of Promise, rated  10 out of 10 in GreatSchools, yet the only arts-focused high school in  Ohio without a performance space, requests Straight A funds to build  much needed classroom and performance and gallery space so our students can increase  academic achievement, actively demonstrate their skills to the  community, and have the educational experiences needed to be better  positioned for college and career opportunities. Grant funds will enable  ACPA to make substantial spending reductions in the five-year fiscal  forecast by reducing the amount of state foundation dollars spent on  renting space, transporting students and equipment, replacing damaged  equipment, and on facility renovations. These cost savings will not only  allow us to maintain the facility without additional need for revenue  following the grant, but will also allow us to utilize a greater share  of resources in the classroom, doubling the amount spent on classroom  materials annually. | 500 | [NAME] | Arts & College Preparatory Academy (ACPA) | 4401 Hilton Corporate Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43232 | [PHONE] | [EMAIL] | Yes | Yes | Yes | 591880
147231 | Schnee Learning Center | Summit | 424 | Looking Forward to Life | Looking Forward to Life is a sustainable project that is a student-centered model where wellness/ mental health "wrap around" and childcare services are available to at-risk youth (who are at greater risk for dropping out of high school) to develop of healthy relationships and lifestyles that will become an integral part of the Schnee Learning Center community.  This one-of-a-kind on-site licensed childcare center will be the only program in Summit County not only to provide the current 10% teen parent population with child care (and will attract more teen parents throughout the county) but also will provide the remainder of the students and their families with access to quality programs that will enhance academic student achievement by removing barriers common to the at-risk population, improving wellness and citizenship while preparing them for life beyond high school.  By expanding current business collaborative partnerships' services with Community Health Center and Child Guidance Family Solutions, program startup costs will be greatly reduced, thus reduce spending but increasing revenue in the five-year forecast. | 102 | [NAME] | Schnee Learning Center | 2222 Issaquah Street, [NAME], OH 44221 | [PHONE], Ext. 502055 | [EMAIL] | Yes | Yes | Yes | 823033
149088 | Fairborn Digital Academy | Greene | 439 | Full Circle Health | The population at FDA is an amalgamation of students, 70% of whom are challenged every day by the basic necessities of life: food, clothing and/or shelter. The level of economic disadvantage combined with mitigating factors such as involvement with Children's Services and the court system, parental absence, abandonment or neglect, history of assault, illiteracy in the family, personal or family illness, and poverty and/or  homelessness undermine our students' efforts to succeed. Underlying all of this is the lack of nutrition that is vital to any educational effort. Thus, we wish to instill skills and knowledge that will forever affect the education, health, and success of our students. We intend to help break the cycle of poverty and ignorance among our families; to improve overall student achievement by teaching valuable lifetime skills while students benefit from credit recovery, better health, and improved sense of self. The project gives even the most impoverished students the opportunity to be a part of something and give back. The center of this plan is the creation of a 20,000 ft school garden on the school grounds. We have received approval from Fairborn City Schools Superintendent and the City of Fairborn. The garden will be a neighborhood amenity that will engage our students, faculty and families with activities that relate to core subjects such as: designing plans, planting, weeding, watering, composting, maintaining, growing, harvesting, building a green stand, selling, cooking, consuming and donating fruits and vegetables from the garden. All sales will go toward future gardening efforts, thus this project is self-sustaining. We will cooperate with Greene County Career Center in building a green stand and the OSU Extension office in teaching our students gardening basics. Hands-on education will be in conjunction with online courses in which students will be tested and earn credits. 80% of our students struggle with earning PE credits; again, substandard nutrition in the home is one very large reason. We plan to extend our classroom outdoors so our students can earn credits in a noncompetitive environment while experiencing a sense of accomplishment and the proven physical and therapeutic effects of the gardening process. Family involvement will be an integral part of the effort, and families will benefit from the fresh vegetables to take home. We will offer cooking classes at the school and plan to produce a student cookbook to sell and raise funds to support the following year's garden. | 170 | [NAME] | Fairborn Digital Academy | 700 Black Lane, Fairborn, OH 45324 | [PHONE] | [EMAIL] | Yes |  | Yes | 52246
