“The second effort involves an innovative cohort of six school districts in areas without Communities in Schools affiliates. Rather than placing its own coordinators in schools, the organization will train existing school employees in its model and commission an independent evaluation of their results. This project will be supported by a $10 million gift from The Studio @ Blue Meridian, a philanthropy group.
Saldaña spoke to Education Week about the importance of student supports in districts’ recovery efforts.”
