2024-09-03 19:39:09 UTC

Could you share the direct link to the part you said that spoke to LEA/Community Connections?

2024-09-03 19:41:35 UTC

SSIP around graduation rates. We have COPs around juvinelle justice--we've never approached it as a dual approach. The joint presentation might open the doors for us.

State and local level informing each other in WI. We need to have the conversations on how do we move from pockets of success to systems of success?

2024-09-03 19:43:10 UTC

I would like to adapt the home visits with the leadership team as well as the transportation from the city to the families. We are a walking city so being able to offer busing for the families would be beneficial.

2024-09-03 19:43:16 UTC

Adapting around transportation access - funding, connecting with public transit, private transit options.

kburrello — 2024-09-03 19:44:04 UTC

MN: We don't have a social worker on state agency level, but the way WI is working we will want to hit them up for more ideas. WI is focused and work so closely with their partners.

2024-09-03 19:44:20 UTC

AZ - We can model the behavior of collaboration across offices and agencies.

2024-09-03 19:44:25 UTC

Make space for LEAs to showcase and share what they are doing

2024-09-03 19:44:38 UTC

Strong relationship between families and school leads to pockets of success. How do you integrate the state wide initiatives into that.

kburrello — 2024-09-03 19:46:42 UTC

OR: Alliance of Boys and Girls Clubs. I love the connection to regional events. Our state wants local control. I appreciate WI's approach. our partners at B&GC can be the bridge to identify kids that may have a reasonable excuse to miss schools, we can be a provider to assist. The PACT advocate is a good term. These folks are on the ground.

2024-09-03 19:46:46 UTC

Learning opportunities for teachers, admin, school staff in ways to engage students and families. Focus on sub-group supports, ie: immigrant populations, multilingual populations, etc.

2024-09-03 19:48:02 UTC

Grounding ourselves in the fact that these successful efforts are not overnight successes. Level-setting that when we are looking for policy change and systems, it is slow steady change.

2024-09-03 19:48:26 UTC

TA Recommendations: HIAS PA (resettlement agency in Philadelphia); Switchboard (parent engagement programming for refugee populations)

AZ - Focusing on providing guidance to local education agencies on engaging English language learners.

2024-09-03 19:48:39 UTC

ND--Supe has student cabinent and parent engagement cabinet. The student one has been very valuable. Students shared that they come to school for "that one favorite teacher" and when teachers are stressed or when there are sub that makes students not want to go to school

2024-09-03 19:48:54 UTC

KY - outreach to students experiencing homelessness

2024-09-03 19:49:12 UTC

Broad reach with the justice center and community supports. Great to see and wondering how those connections were identified and facilitated.

kburrello — 2024-09-03 19:49:17 UTC

VA: I liked how WI has an organized approach to identify truancy and school attendance in a proactive manner. Rename the roles of school so that everyone sees their role in this effort. Parental involvement is key.

2024-09-03 19:50:33 UTC

KY - learning that family input on messaging is so important

2024-09-03 19:50:43 UTC
