About LINKS
LINKS is a pioneering program that provides connections among administration, schools, agency support and the community in order to build a better future for our most at-risk students.
Key participants include:
- Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE)
- SCOE's Community and Juvenile Court Schools
- Probation
- Regional Occupational Program
The Pilot Program is built around an academy-like thematic model and includes meals, standards-based core curriculum based on an individual learning plan that emphasizes literacy and technical/employability skills training, and mandatory parent/teacher/student contacts.
The goal of LINKS is to actively engage every student in an individual learning plan that leads to career opportunities.
LINKS is designed to provide the services, support system and opportunities that most of our at-risk students need to be ready for college and the workforce. The program involves an individual learning plan for each student plus practical work experience.
