Board creates district and site community-school positions after 5-year implementation grant
Summary
After announcing a five-year community school implementation grant (CCSPP) covering the district's five elementary schools, the board approved one district community schools coordinator and five site community-school liaison positions; site liaisons will report to site principals and coordinator will assist districtwide coordination.
The Robla School District Board of Trustees approved the staffing structure needed to implement a newly awarded five-year community school implementation grant (CCSPP). The board unanimously approved one district community schools coordinator position and five site community-school liaison positions.
District staff explained the CCSPP (Community School Partnership Program) is a five-year grant awarded to each of the five elementary schools to support transformation into community schools. The coordinator positions will oversee partnerships, family engagement and services linked to the grant. "It's CCSPP, community school partnership program. It allows it's a 5 year grant, awarded to each of the 5 elementary schools that will work in transforming the schools into our community schools," staff said.
The board approved one full-time district community schools coordinator (range C under the classified management/confidential supervisory salary schedule) and five site community-school liaison positions (range F). Staff clarified site liaisons will report to site principals and the district coordinator will coordinate district-level activities with school leadership.
Trustees asked about the salary schedule and reporting lines; staff said the coordinator and site liaisons use the previously approved classified management/confidential supervisory salary schedule and confirmed the site positions report to site administration. The board voted unanimously on both items.
Staff described the roles as intended to bring community partners, coordinate services for families and increase engagement; they said the grant funding requires staff who will manage partnerships and family-facing supports. Trustees asked staff to provide the job descriptions and to ensure clear communication about the chain of supervision for the new positions.
The board also approved five site community school liaison positions, tied to the same grant, and was told the district coordinator will support but not directly supervise site liaisons; those liaisons will report to site principals, who will manage day-to-day operations.
