•
Primarily elementary schools and some K-8 Centers receive services
Teams of two “SUPER7” Counselors (one team for each region: North,
Central, & South) visit schools for a three (3) week period with a
follow up revisit three weeks later
Schools are determined by Dr. Moore, Assistant Superintendent and the
Region Superintendents
There is an initial meeting with the school’s leadership team prior to a
“SUPER7” team being deployed
Each school is unique and has individual needs
The idea is to support, not point fingers, make demands, or
criticize…..we are there to help to the best of our abilities
The school’s leadership team is surveyed at the end of the deployment
period

emotionally ready
Ensuring all children read at grade level by 3rd grade
Ensuring all youth graduate from high school
Ensuring all youth complete post-secondary education or training
Ensuring all youth out of school are employed
Ensuring all youth remain safe from violent crime
“That’s what ‘My Brother’s Keeper’ is all about. Helping more of our young
people stay on track. Providing the support they need to think more
broadly about their future. Building on what works – when it works, in
those critical life-changing moments.”
- President Barack Obama, February 27, 2014
