The Buffalo Public School district is committed to providing supportive services for our neediest children and families, which includes connecting them to a wide array of educational and outreach opportunities. Ninety percent of BPS students exhibit one or more of the following extraordinary needs:
- Student’s who present behavioral issues that may result in suspension
- Students with Attendance issues (At-Risk, Chronic, Severe)
- Students who are pregnant and/or parentings
- Students experiencing homelessness
- Students with Disabilities (SWD) whose disability significantly impedes their success in school
- Students who have been traumatized (i.e. victims of bullying, violence, domestic abuse, child abuse, sexual abuse, war, refugee camps, etc.)
- ELL students (New Americans) displaying adjustment issues
- Students experiencing mental illness
- Students with medical, cognitive and/or behavior issues that may hinder academic success (Medically ill, 504 students, lead paint poisoning, etc. )
- Disconnected students with engagement issues (in school but not engaged academically)
- Students experiencing the combined consequences of abject poverty (homelessness, foster care, public assistance, overaged and under credited for their grade level, and/or combinations from the list above.)
- Student’s who present behavioral issues that may result in suspension
