1) CONTINUED OUR 3 YEAR (2020 THROUGH 2022) PLAN WITH THE SANFORD CENTER COMMUNITY SCHOOL OUTREACH PROGRAM TO HIRE AN ADDITIONAL 3 TO 5 OUTREACH WORKERS IN THE SIOUX CITY SCHOOLS OVER THE NEXT 3 TO 5 YEARS, DEPENDING ON FUNDS RAISED. THE PROGRAM IN THE PAST EMPLOYED 10 OUTREACH WORKERS TO COVER 10 SCHOOLS, BUT DUE TO COUNTY BUDGET CUTS, THE PROGRAM NOW HAD ONLY 5 IN 2019. WE HAVE NOW RAISED FUNDS OF $45,000 AND ADDED 1 WORKER IN 2020 IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.WE RAISED ANOTHER $30,000 IN 2021 TO HIRE ANOTHER ADDITIONAL WORKER FOR A MIDDLE SCHOOL AND CONTINUE TO WORK TO ADD TO THAT FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL WORKER. ONE CASE WORKER CARRIES A CASELOAD OF 30 HIGH RISK CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES, SO WE ESTIMATE THAT THEY WOULD DIRECTLY IMPACT OVER 100 PEOPLE. IN ADDITION, THIS DIVERSE GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS HELP THE SCHOOLS TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON SCHOOL CLIMATE AND HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN OUR ANTI BULLYING AND ANTI- VIOLENCE PROGRAMS.
