Program Title: Pathways to Success Truancy Reduction Project
Strategic Priority Enhance public safety and the perception of safety
Addressed:
Amount Requested: $30,000
Brief Description of the The Pathways to Success Program serves high school students who
Program: have missed 10 or more days of school during the previous academic
year or who have reached this threshold during the current academic
year. These youth are in danger of disengaging at school to the degree
that they may drop out. The program rests on three general strategies:

and monitoring of attendance, grades and credits; 2)build positive
school engagement and life skills development and 3) and supporting
parental engagement. This proposal addresses the truancy reduction
needs at South High School located at 4519 S.24r" Street Omaha,
NE 68107.
How long has the Program The Pathways to Success Program has been serving youth at South
been in existence: High School for over five years, although the agency has a history of
education and student support services to youth in the Omaha metro
area that spans over 25 years.

Program Description
1. Clearly and concisely describe the overall need for the program, the strategic priority
that will be addressed, and how the program will contribute to the City's efforts and
strategic priorities.
In early 2014,the Mayor's office developed a Strategic Plan for the City of Omaha. One of the top priorities
identified was to enhance public safety and the perception of public safety. A 2015 Strategic Plan Report
Card published in early January of 2016 outlined progress in those strategic initiatives. According to this
report card, there have been great strides in bolstering law enforcement, its response to crime, and other
public safety efforts. These are all notable accomplishments; however, this proposal squarely focuses on
the prevention of young people from entering the criminal justice system. This project is aiming to affect
the public safety of the City of Omaha by implementing strategies that will increase the number of youth
engaged in their education and on track to graduate from high school. According to the article, -Saving
Futures, Saving Dollars: The Impact of Education on Crime Reduction and Earnings", while data on the
education attainment of inmates is still emerging, the most recent research available from the Bureau of
Justice Statistics indicates that 67 percent of inmates in America's state prisons, 56 percent of federal
inmates, and 69 percent of inmates in local jails did not complete high school (Alliance for Excellent
Education, September 2013).
Education is a key prevention strategy to combat criminal justice involvement and improve public safety.
The target school for this proposal, South High School, has the highest enrollment in the state of Nebraska.
While this is great honor for an urban school serving such a very diverse population, there are also risk
factors that impact this school. South High School is also the school with the highest free and reduced
lunch rate (a measure of level of poverty) and has one of the highest absenteeism rates of all secondary
schools in the district(http://reportcard.education.ne.gov). The goal of the Pathways to Success Program is
to reengage youth who are chronically absent to school by working to remove barriers to consistent
attendance, build positive school engagement and life skills development,and provide wrap around services
to the youth and their families. Funding for this project will allow for continued programming for some of
the most high needs and high potential students in the school district.
2. Summarize the target audience that will benefit from the program. What age level will
the program serve? How many individuals will the program serve?
The target population of project is largely Latino youth in the Omaha-metro area attending South High
School. These youth are identified and referred to the Pathways to Success program due to a history of
chronic or excessive absenteeism. This program is a school level intervention that administration utilizes
to provide support services prior to pursuing a truancy referral with the County Attorney's Office. The
program serves youth across all high school grade levels where ages range from 14-19 years of age. Forty
youth will be served at South High School through this project. This caseload number is capped so that
consistent monitoring and support of the youth and family can be maintained with a high level of quality
and individualization.
3. Clearly describe the goal, objective(s), and activities with measurable performance
outcomes for the program.
Program Goal:
Reduce the number of students who are chronically absent to school through consistent
monitoring, building positive school engagement and life skills development,and providing wrap
around services for the youth and their families.
