Advisory Board

S-TAC Advisory Board

The S-TAC convenes an Advisory Board that includes experts in the Community Schools movement who share a passion for and commitment to serving the whole child through a collaborative and demographic approach to transformation social change.

• In Year One, the S-TAC formed an Advisory Board to support the successful implementation of the CCSPP. The first Board was composed of nine members who represented organizations steeped in work related to various elements of the community school strategy, such as expanded learning, family and community engagement, and school based health services. Year One provided opportunities for the S-TAC and the Advisory Board to engage in collaborative work laying the foundation for the development of content and methodology (e.g.Capacity Building Strategies, Annual Progress Report).
• In Year Two, Advisory Board membership increased to sixteen members, based on the assessed needs of the initiative. Additionally, roles and responsibilities for members were clearly mapped out. Areas of advisement were identified as follows:
  • Attendconvenings;
  • Advise on the S-TAC logic model and methodology;
  • Advise on the S-TAC development rubric (e.g., Capacity Building Strategies)
  • Provide input on the Transformational Assistance and Statewide System of Support; and provide guidance on collaboration with relevant departments to incorporate other statewide initiatives to create integrated student supports using the community schools strategy.
