Pathways to educational success vista project the tornillo independent school district's (tornillo ISD) mission is to educate and inspire all students in a safe and supportive environment which will result in closing the achievement GAP by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society. To accomplish this, IT is a three-way partnership between the district, the family unit and the community. The proposed pathways to educational success vista project aligns with the education priority outlined in the vista programming priorities for FY 2018. The project will address school readiness and K-12 success. The project seeks to build educational opportunities for students in pre-kindergarten to 12TH grade by building a strong partnership with the family unit and the community. By increasing their involvement in the education process, the students will increase their support system. The project will also build a foundation to generate revenues to support programs that build on educational opportunities that will prepare students for success in a global society. Education is the pathway out of poverty that most of the students at tornillo ISD are currently challenged with. Four full time vista members will contribute to the project goals by recruiting volunteers that will be performing activities that generate family and community involvement in the educational process. The recruited volunteers will be providing before and after school activities that increase educational opportunities for students. One full time vista member will contribute to the project goals by performing activities such as grant research/writing, marketing and working with area nonprofits and foundation. The length of the project is anticipated for at least three years.
