Abstract: This brief is the third in a series of three that report the findings of a study examining promising practices for college and career access providers working in North Carolina (NC) high schools. This brief focuses on how these providers can positively impact student and family engagement following the COVID-19 pandemic. The research team collected and analyzed qualitative data in the spring of 2022 from organizations and school staff working in three high schools in the northwest region of the state. Similar to national trends, student and family disengagement has increased since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the staff interviewed for this project. This last brief in the series not only validates the concerns of these staff members in the findings but recommends ways to build on the practices already instituted to help regain engagement with students and families as the pandemic abates.
