Castle Rock School District Opportunity Gap Reduction Plan 2025-2026
This document outlines the 2025-2026 Opportunity Gap Reduction Plan, designed to identify and mitigate barriers preventing students from low-income households from participating in optional, non-credit extracurricular activities and possessing ASB cards. The plan emphasizes determining barriers through student and parent surveys, evaluating participation factors, and comparing school data. Key areas of focus include addressing interest, timing, communication, cultural responsiveness, transportation, cost, and activity availability. Action steps involve advertising ASB card benefits, proactive outreach to students, comprehensive surveying of non-participants, direct barrier reduction, promotion of support services, and staff training to identify students requiring assistance.
