Building the Systems That Support Every Student.
District-wide student support infrastructure for Missouri K-12 schools
Overview
Student wellbeing is not a crisis to be managed — it is a system to be built. Cindy works with Missouri schools and districts to develop the policies, practices, and staff capacity needed to support students proactively and sustainably.
Drawing on her experience leading rural Missouri coalitions and her deep knowledge of DESE policy, Cindy helps districts move from reactive crisis response to proactive, tiered support systems that serve all students.
This service is available to individual schools, districts, and multi-district collaboratives. Engagements are customized based on current capacity, goals, and community context.
