6.A. - Page 2 of 21 Integrated Student Supports model. Redwood City 2020 now wishes to culminate agreements with RCSD and CIS to meet the deliverables of the CZI grant. The value of each of these contracts require the approval of the City Council as the City of Redwood City is the fiscal agent for Redwood City 2020. Redwood City 2020 requests an approval of a contract with the Redwood City School District to receive $307,500 and meet the following deliverables: • Undertake capacity building, professional development, and provide services to enable successful cross -sector collaboration and facilitate collective impact for community school staff and partners • Engage a community consultant from a nationally recognized organization to implement a Theory of Change methodology for planning, participation and evaluation that moves seamlessly at every level of work • Join a nationally recognized cradle to career network of professionals working to improve outcomes for kids by bringing together cross -sector partners around a shared community vision • Perform data analysis focused on capturing impact of RCSD community schools and the RWC2020 Pipeline of Success, and increase partners' capacity to use data for learning, improvement, and alignment • Expand and maximize high quality family engagement to improve student's academic achievement Redwood City 2020 is proposing to subcontract part of the funds received from RCSD/CZI with Communities In Schools (CIS) to bring their national model for community schools to schools in Redwood City and North Fair Oaks in order to deepen and expand their impact. In return for $150,000 in funding, CIS will work with Redwood City 2020 and StriveTogether to lay a strong foundation to achieve community, school, and student -level success. There are three phases that CIS will implement the Plan for Success phase, Starting Strong phase, Closing the School Year & Plan for Next Year phase and Capacity Building. Their main focus will be to ensure that Redwood City 2020 members have a strong introduction to the Community In Schools Model of Integrated Student Supports. In addition, CIS will develop a StriveTogether Planning retreat, Community Summit, and Partner Implementation Plan. CIS will collaborate with stakeholders to implement the CIS Model through the Community Schools initiative of the Redwood City School District, Sequoia Union High School District and Canada College. ANALYSIS Both agreements support Redwood City 2020's Cradle to Career Pipeline of Success and Socios for Success projects. The Pipeline of Success project supports children, youth, and families from cradle to career and seeks to ensure continuity of holistic services, data linking and information sharing, transition supports, streamlined referral systems, academic alignment, and staff and partner collaboration throughout the developmental continuum. The Socios for Success project provides the foundation, capacity, and action required to move the needle on what matters most to students, families, communities, and schools through family engagement. Socios for Success capitalizes on the strengths of our community to build the capacity of parents/caregivers and professional staff from schools and community-based organizations to collaborate as partners using innovative practices to ensure children's success at all levels.
