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

RUSD has two registered nurses (RN) for the SAPAR program. Each RNs has an extensive background in prenatal and postpartum care, labor and delivery, newborn/infant care and teaching parenting skills. These nurses follow the students throughout their enrollment in SAPAR from entry to exit no matter where the student is in the District.
