What We Want to Learn

Here are some things we are hoping to find out about poverty in schools:

• How to get services (tier 2 or 3) or provide services to families in poverty?
• What are some protective factors and how can we introduce them to families in poverty?
• What are the statistics of homeless children in the Chicagoland area?
• What kind of services can be provided at the universal level in schools and in the community?
• How can we prevent children from low income or impoverished families from struggling in school? And how do we connect parents and families to these services early on?
• What are the exact statistics regarding children from poverty and school success?
• What are the differences in services needed between low income families within low income communities versus low income families within higher income communities?
