The School Support Census is an annual survey designed to identify the number and nature of external supports (partners and vendors) at each SDP school. ORE conducted its first School Support Census in 2015-16, and the results were used by the Office of Strategic Partnerships (OSP) to describe the landscape of school-based partner supports, to inform the development of a School Partnership Agreement (SPA) for school-based external partners, and to match interested partners with schools based on their existing supports and self-identified needs. ORE has also used the results to provide information to internal and external researchers selecting school sites for programmatic opportunities and research studies.
