Integrated School Support Program (ISSP) at Patrick Airlie School
About ISSP
The Integrated School Support Program (ISSP) was started by the Calgary Police Service in partnership with the Calgary Board of Education, the Calgary Catholic School District, The City of Calgary, and Alberta Human Services. Its mandate is “to provide intensive wraparound services to create an environment in which each child can attain personal success both academically and socially.” The project has been implemented in Patrick Airlie and Holy Trinity schools with funding from the Calgary Police Foundation and TransCanada. For more information, contact Gillian Bowerman, ISSP Manager, at gbowerman@calgarypolice.ca.
