What does the STARR Project do?
The STARR Project is a department of Sumner School District within the Teaching and Learning Division. Our mission is to enhance student achievement by promoting supportive learning environments within our schools and school communities. We manage funding and programs that provide services for students experiencing homelessness or struggling with substance abuse and violence. Our initiatives also build community partnerships to promote healthy families & school safety. By working in collaboration with our schools and communities, the STARR Project strategically addresses risks to students’ health and well-being. District policies also outline disciplinary reasons students may be referred to STARR Project programs.
