District says 35–40 'resiliency coaches' are active; staff to improve oversight and feedback
Summary
District staff said resiliency coaches — Level 2 volunteers trained through Florida DOE modules — number about 35 to 40 in the district and receive a $150 stipend after practicum; board asked staff to build monitoring and feedback systems.
Staff told the board resiliency coaches are Level 2 volunteers who complete state training and a four‑hour practicum, after which the state provides a $150 stipend. The district described coaches as trained volunteers who provide tutoring or mentoring (reading, math and literacy support) and who can work without direct supervision under Level 2 clearance rules.
Parenteau and other staff said the district currently tracks resiliency coaches in Raptor and estimated about 35 to 40 active coaches with several more nearing practicum completion. Board members urged development of outcome and feedback measures so schools and district leaders can assess the coaches' impact and ensure consistent oversight of activities on campus.
Staff said they will work with school‑based volunteer coordinators to ensure coaches are connected to appropriate opportunities, that check‑in and kiosk swipes document on‑campus presence, and that an expanded feedback loop will evaluate quality and impact.
