Another trend has been to provide human services right in the school to easier target families/kids who need the help. This really makes the school a neighborhood school allowing for better collaboration and paths to meaningful community building. I hope that many different types of people are consulted for these projects. Really, it could be a wonderful opportunity for many new ideas!
Great concept, Kristine!! It's about time we start effectively and efficiently "connecting the dots" with regards to public, private, corporate, not-for-profit entities and the educational and associated "wraparound" services they can provide. This requires great foresight and vision ... but, IMHO, is well worth the resouces (time/people/money) spent.
What a loving legacy we could could start to build for generations to come!
