SFNP Model Grassroots and Collaborative Based Goal: To increase number of students who stay in school, graduate, and are prepared for college or other postsecondary educational opportunities. Achieve this Through: Holistically supporting educators, families and students by streamlining and networking current resources to meet needs and fill gaps. Not new programs, but new or refined methods Our Community School Coordination Team acts as a stakeholder advocate and infrastructure to insure that services are relevant, streamlined, sustained--not shatter shot or silo’d--and have measurable positive impact. Integrated into school culture
