Progress Details

The Navigators’ Center drove the school’s effort at the beginning of the year to identify students and families whose situations qualify them under the MVA guidelines. Throughout the course of the year, 167 students were identified as qualifying for services. By the end of the year, 106 of those students remained enrolled at Kamaile, representing 11.2% of the school population. The Navigators’ Center Coordinator made efforts to meet with each one of these families to explain to them their rights under the law. The Center has been recognized by managers of the state-level program for doing exemplary work in terms of fulfilling the school’s legally mandated requirements but for also going far beyond these set standards. More telling than this recognition or any of the statistics above, however, have been the number of cases of families turning to the Center’s staff for assistance that cannot be captured in the data. The Center is very proud to offer this support to our children and families finding themselves in difficult circumstances.
