A school shifted funding from a therapeutic residential model to academic enhancement. This created a unique research opportunity, offering insights into educational policies and student outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Education
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • An off-reservation boarding school with over 600 students in grades 4-12, where 85% reside in dormitories, previously showed improvements under a High Risk Youth Prevention grant.
  • The school sought Therapeutic Residential Model (TRM) funding to sustain successful programs and expand mental health services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact of shifting TRM funding towards academic enhancement.
  • To leverage a naturally occurring placebo condition for research on federal educational policies.

Main Methods:

  • The study utilized existing extensive cross-sectional data baselines from the boarding school.
  • A quasi-experimental design was employed, observing a site that deviated from the TRM initiative.

Main Results:

  • The school redirected TRM funds to intensive academic enhancement, deviating from the original proposal.
  • This deviation resulted in the site not being funded in subsequent years under the TRM initiative.

Conclusions:

  • The redirection of funds, while non-compliant, provided a valuable research opportunity.
  • The study design allows for analysis of educational policy impacts using naturally occurring data variations.
