As a Community Schools Coordinator, I am responsible for building and coordinating a wide range of community resources that serve the families, teachers, and students at the school. This involves identifying and partnering with local organizations, businesses, and service providers to bring valuable programs and services into the school community. My role includes facilitating communication and collaboration among stakeholders, ensuring that the needs of the school community are met effectively. By fostering these partnerships, I aim to create a supportive and enriching environment that enhances the educational experience for students and provides essential support for families and teachers.
