The School Board of Alachua County is committed to providing Children at Promise (CAP) with the services needed to ensure their success in school. 

Children at Promise refers to those children and youth experiencing transitions in their home life.  The purpose of this program is to offer the educational support needed to ensure academic success.  Research proves that, regardless of the cause of homelessness, all homeless students benefit from continuity in their education.  Therefore, in order to maximize their potential, the Homeless Education Program of Alachua County Schools seeks to assist in removing barriers that impede their educational success by offering the needed educational services to the extent feasible.


Note:  All such efforts are grounded in sensitivity and respect in order to keep the
academic well-being and best interest of the student in the forefront.
