A Piatt County School district is working to provide resources to struggling students. 

Dr. Emily Weidner, Superintendent of Cerro Gordo Schools explains they are working with their Regional Office of Education to implement its IMPACT program. This will allow students to work with a dedicated student liaison who will help them achieve academic success. 

This program has taken off quickly in Cerro Gordo. Dr. Weidner explains after only one day, the assigned student liaison had seven students sign up. Since then, it's only grown. 

Since the pandemic, many schools have noticed that their students are finding it hard to bounce back into the regular day-to-day. Dr. Weidner notes that this program is not only a lifeline to students but also to the parents of the community. 

Dr. Weidner hopes the accountability aspect of the IMPACT program will be a big benefit for students. To learn more about Cerro Gordo Schools, visit cgbroncos.org
