School2Home Initiative

School2Home (S2H) is an innovative statewide program to close both the Achievement Gap and the Digital Divide by integrating the use of computers and broadband technologies into teaching and learning at low-performing middle schools throughout California with an emphasis on parental involvement and home connectivity. CETF and The Children’s Partnership co-sponsor S2H, which is endorsed by Governor Schwarzenegger, Superintendent of Public Instruction O’Connell, and key educators, employers, community leaders and stakeholders. The S2H Leadership Group and Design Teams guided the preparation of a Strategic Business Plan to phase in implementation for the first 100 schools in the next 3 years. During this school year, 2 schools are beta testing all program components and 25 schools are preparing for participation next year..
