Abstract | In Oklahoma City Public Schools, the state's largest school district, nearly 3,000 students don't know where they'll be sleeping each night. As parents or guardians move about, enrolling and re-enrolling in schools can become overwhelming--especially when there is no firm address to provide--so families often keep children out of school. This article describes how Positive Tomorrows, a nonprofit organization in Oklahoma City, provides one of the best applications of innovation in school design and education delivery and is reaching these marginalized children. Positive Tomorrows partners with local families experiencing homelessness to educate their children and create pathways to success for the whole family. The organization's main asset is a private, tuition-free school serving students in pre-K to 6th grade. (As Provided). |
