Oklahoma doesn’t have to look out of state to see the impact. The Union Public Schools district in Tulsa has operated a nationally recognized Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ model for years.
Results include:
- Improved graduation rates and reduced dropout rates.
- Higher attendance as students come to school for meals, health care, and supportive services.
- Parent engagement levels far above traditional schools—because families see the school as their partner, not just a building.
- National recognition for effectiveness, drawing leaders from around the country to learn from Union’s example.
Union shows that when we invest in the whole child, academic outcomes follow.
