The Learner Engagement and Attendance Program (LEAP) includes a partnership between the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) and the RESC Alliance focusing on 15 school districts throughout Connecticut. This initiative aims to increase direct engagement and support provided to families and students with visits to their homes. 

​

The goal of LEAP is to achieve three important outcomes:

• Support student enrollment in upcoming summer camps and summer learning programs

• Bridge students back to their school communities for the final months of the school year

• Facilitate for families in need a seamless transition back into their school communities for the 2021-2022 school year

​

Engaging with families through home visits will also help to address other critical needs of students that are identified, such as behavioral and mental health services, housing stability, access to childcare, technology and internet connectivity, transportation, and additional educational support services.
