Leto High School is requesting services from 180 Degrees, LLC, to provide instructional support to selected students who are at risk academically.

The 180 Degree program will guide students through three distinct phases for each of the components: self-awareness, self-development, and social awareness and responsibility. The goal is for students to receive the support necessary through the 180 Degree program to be able to increase academic performance in their other classes. Students have been recommended based on attendance, academic, and behavioral data. Leto High School has set up the 180 Degree program as a class. The class will be listed as Personal, Career, and Social Development. Students will receive one credit for completing the class. Both the cost for the instructor and materials are included in this agreement for technical services.

Throughout the second semester, as well as at the conclusion of the school year, Leto High School will analyze student attendance data, course grades, progress reports, and discipline referrals for each child who participates in the 180 Degree course. This data will be used to determine the success of the services provided and will be used in determining future contracts.
