Is there a difference between Schoolwide Programs and Whole School reform (WSR) ?
Schoolwide programs address the varied educational needs of children living in impoverished communities with comprehensive strategies for improving the entire school’s academic performance. Schoolwide programs integrate Whole School Reform (WSR) strategies into the school. At least 40 percent or greater of the children enrolled in the school or residing in the school attendance area must be from low-income families. The decision of New Jersey Supreme Court in Abbott vs. Burke on May 21, 1998 required thirty of the poorest school districts to implement a Whole School Reform (WSR) model. The purposes are consistent, therefore most Abbott schools also have a schoolwide status under Title I.
