Description : System Improvement programs don’t generally work directly with youth, but rather support the programs, agencies and initiatives that do the direct work. This includes, but is not limited to, grant writers, coordinators, evaluators, training/quality improvement programs, and data collection. System Improvement also included backbone support organizations, which are organizations or agencies that serve as the backbone for the entire initiative, coordinating participating organizations and agencies, facilitating technology and communications support, logistical and administrative details, and data collection and reporting.

Description : We are enthused about the opportunity presented by The Douglas County Commissioners Office, Operation Youth Success, and the Absentee Task Force to catalogue and profile existing community-based services that are available to provide support and assistance to students who are experiencing barriers to regular and consistent attendance in school. This evaluation of the Douglas County system currently responding to chronic absenteeism will include the identification of opportunities and barriers to these community-based services. The effort will also inform decisions of Operation Youth Success in its collective impact efforts to prevent youth from entering the juvenile justice system
