What key role do school administrators play in relation to NCA?

School administrators play a crucial role in facilitating programs under the NCA framework. Their involvement is pivotal in creating an environment that supports student development and engagement by organizing resources, coordinating activities, and ensuring that programs align with students’ needs. This facilitation can include managing partnerships with community organizations, ensuring that staff is trained and prepared to implement NCA initiatives, and promoting student participation in available programs. By actively facilitating these programs, school administrators directly contribute to the success of educational initiatives designed to help students succeed, particularly those involved in the Jobs for America’s Graduates program.

While other roles such as overseeing funding, establishing curriculum, and recruiting members are important, the facilitative role of school administrators is essential for ensuring that programs function effectively and benefit students.
