The Racine Unified School District School Age Parenting Program (SAPAR) is available to all students, male or female, under the age of 21 years who are not a high school graduate and are a parent, an expectant parent or have been pregnant during the last 120 days.
The goals of the RUSD SAPAR program include:

- Improving decision-making regarding healthy choices
- Preventing subsequent teen pregnancies
