One City's CEO, Kaleem Caire, will explain how One City Schools is developing its Scholars for school success at One City Elementary and One City Preparatory Academy.

| B. | Scholars Academy and Prep Year | FYI | Kaleem Caire, Devon Davis, Maria Dyslin | 40 m | |
|
Following initial assessments conducted since fall 2022, we have realized that many of our scholars are far behind where they should be in the fundamentals of reading, writing and mathematics, which is not surprising given that only 9.5% of Black students in third grade in the greater Madison area are reading at or above grade level.
Scholars Academy has been successful over the past two years in helping to move our elementary school children forward.
In order to help build basic skills so all of our scholars can take advantage of the unique early college and career education opportunities at One City, we have established Prep Year to offer the intense, customized, remedial instruction our secondary school scholars need. |
