Social Solutions’ Apricot can monitor school data and use algorithms to determine which students are doing well and may need accelerated programs and which students may be at risk for falling behind or dropping out. The software combs the resources available in local nonprofits and suggests services such as tutoring, after-school care or meal support. “The software will be able to make recommendations and actually facilitate the referrals within the program,” said Social Solutions CEO Kristin Nimsger. Some of the company’s current Apricot customers include the Institute for Public School Initiatives at the University of Texas at Austin and the YMCA of Seattle. |
