SUCCESS STORIES:

Court officials removed a 16-year-old expectant mother from her parent’s home and placed her with her grandmother. The young mother-to-be was enrolled in online classes to complete the 9th grade. While visiting the youth in her grandmother’s home, her CPS caseworker noted that neither the youth nor her grandmother had access to a computer. The 16-year-old had been completing the online course work on her cell phone.

After the visit, her caseworker presented a request to the Comal County Child Welfare Board to purchase a laptop to allow the youth to manage her course work more easily. The CCCWB approved the request and purchased a Chromebook for the youth with the understanding that she had to pass her classes in order to keep the Chromebook.

A few months later, the Board received an update from the caseworker.

“The young woman has met all requirements to progress to the 10th grade. I would like to thank the board for assisting this youth in meeting her educational goals and setting her up for success! The family is grateful for this purchase and sends their thanks!””
