Intent and Purpose of
the SCE Program
Programs and/or services designed to
supplement the regular education program for
identified at-risk students
• The goal for SCE is to reduce the disparity in
performance on (a) the state assessment and (b)
rates of high school completion between students
at-risk of dropping out of school and all other
district students.
• Expenses must directly impact students and cannot
be used for parental involvement activities.

and/or services that supplement the regular education
program so that students at risk of dropping out of
school can succeed in school.

the needs of at-risk students

law, State Board of Education (SBOE)
rules, or local board policy may not be paid
with these funds.
