The Collaborative has explored data related to after school programing and presented the information to the Steering Committee and board of directors to bring awareness of the importance of learning opportunities. Staff support after school programing in Buffalo County schools and assist in bringing shared learning among school leaders. Funding has been considered, however, unable to secure. Will continue to discuss with schools and community partners to elevate a shared vision for this work.

CIN has been making a concerted push to enlarge outreach, communication and collaboration with ten area schools/districts within a 4-county area. Following the Full Service Community Schools model, relationships with each school/district is gradually opening partnerships and opportunities that were under-utilizied previously. The current goal is to have at least one lead collaborator within each district that knows the specific challenges/issues pertinent to that district and can work creatively with collaborative partners to bring solutions/resources to bear. Joining twice yearly meetings with superintendents, arranged by the ESU9 team, gives the collaborative a chance to remind school leaders or opportunities they might know existed.

Growing Community Connections (GCC) collaborates with local schools to enhance extended and summer learning opportunities by addressing students' social-emotional needs. One notable effort includes contracting with a mental health provider to deliver lessons using the Second Step Curriculum during summer school programs. The Second Step Curriculum focuses on building critical skills such as emotion regulation, empathy, and problem-solving, which are foundational for academic and personal success. By integrating these lessons into summer school, GCC ensures that students not only receive academic support but also develop social-emotional competencies that enhance resilience and well-being.
