What does SAGE mean in STUDENTS

The SAGE program is a school improvement project designed to ensure all students receive an equal and quality education. It originated in Wisconsin as a law that seeks to address the achievement gap between low-income student populations and those from more affluent backgrounds.

Through SAGE, schools are given additional funding to implement programs that aim to improve student's academic performance. These programs may include hiring additional staff or providing additional resources for struggling students.

All students can benefit from SAGE, though it is especially beneficial for low-income students who are at risk of falling behind their classmates due to economic disparities. This program provides them with additional support and resources that could potentially level the playing field for them academically.

The types of activities funded by SAGE depend on each individual school's needs. Generally though, they focus on either supplemental instruction such as after-school programs or enrichment activities like additional art or music classes.

No, there isn't any special commitment required from parents in order for their children to participate in SAGE. However, parents should be aware of the extra resources and support their child may be receiving through this program so that they can continue encouraging their child's academic success at home too.
