Community in Schools site coordinators are working together on behalf of Ohio County Schools students.
Communities in Schools (CIS) is a national organization that ensures every student, regardless of race, gender, ability, zip code or socioeconomic background has what they need to realize their full potential in school and beyond. The Ohio County Schools CIS team was organized at the start of the current school year.
Ohio County Schools CIS team members Unique Murphy, Abby Pownall and Morgan Tennant met Wednesday at the Ohio County Board of Education Office to collaborate on ideas and discuss progress on school-wide goals. The team meets regularly to review CIS data and organize community collaborations.
Communities In Schools works by bringing community resources directly into schools through embedding a trained local coordinator whose sole focus is helping connect students with additional supports to help them learn, advance in grade level and graduate.
