Caring for Classrooms Priorities
Education Alliance launched Caring for Classrooms in 2022 to address five common underfunded areas of Washoe County School District (WCSD) schools based on feedback from WCSD officials, school leaders, students, and community leaders. Those areas include student engagement, teacher and staff recognition, educational excursions, technology, and student wellness. Thanks to regular communication with those audiences, student engagement rose to the top of the priority list in 2024. Student engagement is one proven method used to reduce the rising issue of chronic absenteeism seen in school districts across the United States and WCSD. Please visit our Chronic Absenteeism page to learn more about how you can help us turn resources into results – because this is a solvable problem that affects everyone in our community.
