Identify additional team members, solutions, interventions, and resources that will influence and positively impact youth (proactively and reactively) to assist the team and community to meet our three objectives.
Take an “intentional” approach in the community. Market our vision. Brand it. “Every kid attends school.” Instead of assuming or knowing the additional team members and implemented solution, intervention, and resource providers are all working towards the same objectives, we also will encourage them to talk to the kids and parents they interact with about the importance of school and attendance. With the intention thatby having everyone talking about the importance of school attendance, it will be on parent’s minds and the kids will receive the lifelong message of its importance.
Include team members and resources from Physical Health (availability of health and dental resources and physical activity), Social/Emotional/Spiritual Health (including community outreach, mental health counseling services, access to faith-based organizations, and extra-curricular school and community-based activities), Education (quality schools, parent education and engagement, tutoring, and school attendance support), and Basic Needs and Safety (personal safety, supportive law enforcement, food/nutrition guidance, transportation, and child care). / Entire team / Quarterly throughout 2014
