GRAND ISLAND —
The
K-5 social worker program appears to be accomplishing its objectives of
expanding elementary school counseling services while improving student
academic performance.
Independent evaluator Joyce Schmeeckle of Schmeeckle Research in
Lincoln said that in the first nine-month school year of the three-year
grant, there were 1,657 referrals to the five social workers hired by
the Grand Island school district.
That increased to 1,658 referrals in seven months of the grant's second
year (results of the final two months of the 2007-08 school year have
not yet been calculated).
