A full-time Pando employee, called a student support advocate, was hired for each of the five elementary schools in Maize.
The Pando Initiative has been supporting schools in Wichita, Derby, and Haysville for nearly 35 years, but this school year is the first year Pando has partnered with Maize USD 266 schools. In Latin, Pando means “to spread out,” and the Wichita-based non-profit organization Pando Initiative does just that - it spreads out into the community and connects with resources to support students as they achieve their full potential.
