process for new qualified partnerships. For priority area 4, District Systems of Support, the Year 1 plan had two strategies: (1) establish a committee for student support and (2) provide professional development and supervision for school site coordinators. The Year 2 plan included these two strategies plus four new strategies: (1) expand WAZ and the City Connects model to the three Level 4 middle schools, (2) blend wraparound processes into the existing STAT teams at other schools as a way to provide a multitiered system of support approach throughout the district, (3) use the data from the previous school year to review the school STAT process with principals in monthly zone meetings, and (4) review data and implementation of WAZ with district leaders. These additional strategies demonstrated a stronger emphasis in Year 2 on solidifying district support for WAZ and on expanding components of the City Connects model to other schools. Table 12.
