Change of plans explained

My first action plan was to see how TTIPS funds could help improve the school. This approach was too broad. I changed my plan to focus on one particular point of emphasis, one that we all want to work to improve. Attendance and Academic Achievement. I want to see if a mentoring program I'm designing and implementing will have a positive effect on both attendance and academic achievement. Sure, we're doing other things for at-risk students to improve both, but I want to see how a mentor fits into the picture. It can't possible be a negative, because I already have mentors assigned and they are having a very positive effect in the short-term. I'm interested to see the long-term effects of this program.
