COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS OF VIRGINIA STATEMENT OF SUPPORT HB625 CIS of Virginia is the leading implementer of the community school framework in Virginia, serving 163 schools in partnership with 25 of the highest-need school districts, reaching 114,000 (or one in ten) Virginia students. Our evidence-based model is centered on the delivery of integrated student and family supports services within schools to help young people successfully learn, stay in school, and prepare for life. CIS of Virginia urges your support of HB625 to create an Office of Community Schools within the Virginia Department of Education. This important initiative will provide a framework to support the implementation and expansion of community schools throughout the state, allowing more students to benefit from the comprehensive services and resources that community schools offer. Community schools have emerged as a proven and effective strategy for improving educational outcomes, particularly for students from low-income families and underserved communities. By addressing the non-academic barriers to learning such as poverty, health issues, and lack of family support, community schools create a holistic approach to education that fosters academic success and overall well-being. As a centralized resource for implementing and coordinating community school initiatives across Virginia, the office will ensure that community schools have the necessary support and infrastructure to thrive, and will serve as a hub for sharing best practices, resources, and data-driven strategies. For decades, CIS has demonstrated the transformative impact that these models can have on students, families, and communities. By offering a range of academic, health, and social services, community schools provide a safety net for students and families, addressing their needs in a comprehensive and coordinated manner. This approach not only improves student attendance and outcomes, but also strengthens the overall school community. The proposed Office of Community Schools would be instrumental in supporting the expansion of community schools, helping to identify schools that would benefit from adopting the community school model and providing the necessary resources and technical assistance to facilitate their transition. By leveraging the expertise and experience of the office, school districts across the state can more effectively implement and sustain community school initiatives. Furthermore, through collaboration with community organizations, local agencies, and education stakeholders, an Office of Community Schools can facilitate partnerships that enhance the range and quality of services available to students and families and help ensure that community schools are able to meet the diverse needs of their student populations. The impact of community schools extends far beyond academic achievement. These schools have been shown to improve school climate, increase parental involvement, and strengthen community engagement. By integrating services that address the social, emotional, and health needs of students, community schools help create a positive and supportive environment that fosters long-term success and a stronger workforce for the Commonwealth. Thank you for supporting this important initiative to help create a brighter future for the students of Virginia. Sincerely, Mark Emblidge, Ph.D. Founder and President Communities In Schools of Virginia

Hello. I am a parent of a 9th grader, and 1st grader and I have a Four year old starting school this fall. I believe that all of these bills will work hand in hand to bring a positive change to the Norfolk Public Schools System. Many of Norfolks schools are performng below average specifically in low income communities that are majority black. The public schools in these communities have a history of being underserved and overlooked. I believe that all students should have a quality education that will prepare them for success and ensure that they excel not only academically, but also socially and economically. The implementation of a community schools model would significantly improve the performance of the students while helping the community thrive. Community school based model assess the specific needs of the school and the community and work together with each other and organizations to provide solutions to the problems that the school needs to tackle to ensure that the students staff and parents thrive. Also, increasing childrens access to school couselors is a need that can be very beneficial to the success of students and can take the some of the burden off of the teachers. Lastly, but definitely the most important is the need for a competitive salary for our teachers. They have one of the hardest and most essential roles in the field and that is building the next generation. Teachers serve as mentors, couselors, and sometimes even mediators. Some of our teacher even have to deal with hostile enviroments. In my opinion, They deserve top dollar because they are the backbone of the community. All in all I support each of these bills and I hope that they pass.
