Sioux city schools outreachour 3 year (2020 through 2022) plan is with the sanford center community school outreach program to hire an additional 3 to 5 outreach workers in the sioux city schools over the next 3 to 5 years, depending on funds raised. We raised another $30,000 in 2022 to hire another additional worker for a middle school and continue to work to add to that for the middle school worker. One case worker carries a caseload of 30 high risk children and their families, so we estimate that they would directly impact over 100 people. In addition, this diverse group of individuals help the schools to have a positive impact on school climate and have been involved in our anti-bullying and anti-violence programs.
