SHAC hears about CarePortal and local supports for families with needs
Summary
Committee heard an explanation of CarePortal as a way to connect families’ needs (furniture, food, clothing) with community resources; a committee member noted the service resembles local Shelby County Outreach Ministries and that area churches contribute to local efforts.
Committee members were briefed on CarePortal, a platform that allows school staff to post student- or family-level needs (furniture, food, clothing) so partner organizations can respond.
Lindsay Montario provided the explanation on behalf of absent presenters and described how districts can use the platform to match needs with community resources. David Hailey observed that CarePortal "sounds similar to Shelby County Outreach Ministries" and noted that area churches contribute to local assistance efforts. The minutes also record that CarePortal is a national website.
No vote or formal action was recorded; the committee received the presentation for informational purposes.
