A school leader
1. Understands how to collaborate with community agencies that provide health, social, and other services to families and children
- Builds and maintains a living directory of agencies (public health, behavioral health, hospitals/clinics, social services, housing, food security, legal aid, immigrant/refugee support, youth development, recreation, libraries, workforce centers).
- Establishes MOUs that define scope of services, referral process, eligibility, confidentiality (FERPA/HIPAA), data-sharing limits, background checks, supervision, space use, and evaluation metrics.
- Creates a single intake/referral workflow (online + paper, multilingual) that counselors and social workers triage within set SLAs (urgent 24 hours; routine 3–5 days).
- Hosts on-site or mobile services (mental-health therapy, dental/vision vans, immunization clinics, food pantry) with clear family consent and privacy protections.
- Uses a case-management meeting cadence for high-need students; documents goals, services provided, attendance, and outcomes while safeguarding privacy.
- Communicates services through a resource hub on the school website, QR flyers, parent nights, and teacher toolkits; trains staff on when and how to refer.
- Tracks utilization and impact (referrals completed, wait times, attendance/behavior changes, family satisfaction) and reviews quarterly with partners.
