SayPro A scale or index for determining the urgency of student needs, allowing the data to be used to prioritize interventions.

SayPro Urgency Scales (Student Needs Prioritization Index)

To ensure data-driven and timely interventions, develop a clear Urgency Scale to classify and prioritize student needs. This can be structured as follows:

Level	Category	Description	Response Time Target
Level 5	Critical	Immediate risk to student well-being (e.g., safety, mental health crisis)	Within 24–48 hours
Level 4	High	Severely impacts learning or access (e.g., no food, no transportation)	Within 1 week
Level 3	Moderate	Impacts performance but manageable (e.g., lack of learning materials)	Within 2–3 weeks
Level 2	Low	Minor disruptions (e.g., limited access to extra-curriculars)	Address within the quarter
Level 1	Minimal/Monitoring	No current impact; to be observed (e.g., early signs of disengagement)	Monitor monthly

2. SayPro Data Points Required

To build the index and determine urgency, gather the following data:

• Demographics: Age, gender, location, education level
