Summary: This is the second part of a two-part report (the first part was presented on 6/13/24) providing an update from the Office for Community Engagement (OCE). During this evening's presentation, Dr. Daphne Keiser, Assistant Superintendent & Mr. Patrick Brennan, Founder & CEO of Communities in Schools (CIS) Northern Virginia (NOVA), will share information regarding the CIS Model and the launching of programming for the Lambs Lane Campus (Greer ES, Journey MS, AHS) and Red Hill ES for SY 2024-2025. The CIS Model focuses on magnifying each student's potential by connecting students to caring adults and community resources. Each school has a program coordinator who serves students daily, providing whole-school programming, as well as tier I & tier II support for their caseload. CIS builds a network of partners, including businesses, volunteers, social service agencies, health care providers, community foundations, and educators who help students stay focused in school, and build on experiences and skills, supporting students so they can be successful.
Funding: None.
