ABSTRACT: Provide a one page only project summary that briefly describes the project's
vision, goals, activities, and key features for student success that will be addressed. Please
limit the length of the abstract to the text box found on this page only.
The Charleston Community and Family Development Corporation (CCFDC) has established a
comprehensive continuum of services that follows individuals from birth through adulthood to
systematically improve the educational, social, emotional, physical, and cultural outcomes of youth.
Using the Community Schools Model, CCFDC integrates public and private resources designed to
augment the schools' core resources by providing additional student and family supports. These
programs are all systemic, integrated, sustainable, and continue from birth through a student's transition
from K-12 schooling to college and career.
Vision
The vision for this project is to help at-risk youth achieve in their educational and career pursuits.
Goals/Outcomes
The goal of this project is to decrease the number of school dropouts. This will be achieved by
accomplishing the following outcomes: (1) Increasing community partnerships and engagement to fully
integrate the Community Schools Model at Mary C. Snow Elementary, Stonewall Jackson Middle, and
Capital High; and (2) Actively engaging middle and high school students in career and higher
educational opportunities.
Activities
In order to fully integrate the Community School Model into the schools, each of the community
partners commits to participating on the Leadership Team/Advisory Council and one Workgroup
relevant to the services they provide. The Workgroups will meet monthly and submit reports to the full
Advisory Council. Membership on Workgroups will include partner agencies, parents, and community
residents. Workgroups include Academic (Professional Development, Afterschool, and College-toCareer), Family and Community Support (Early Learning, Health, Family Support and Engagement, and
Safety), and Quality Assurance (Data Management and Evaluation). The Workgroups will assess current
data and services offered, integrate existing resources into the schools, and develop new interventions
to reach out to the most at-risk youth.
Each year, 100 middle school and high school students will participate in the Pre-College Program. This
is a multi-pronged intervention that helps student explore, first-hand, college and career options.
Students will benefit by getting coaching and mentoring; career exploration/exposure and development
activities including in and out-of-state college visits, corporate visits, and career shadowing experiences;
Summer Institutes focused on development activities and workshops at local universities; networking
skill development by interacting with professionals committed to supporting their development;
financial aid literacy and college savings education; bi-monthly development workshops; college
entrance and retention support; and access to scholarship and internship opportunities.

1. What is the purpose and expected outcome of this project?
The purpose of this project is to decrease the number of high school dropouts by: (1) Fully
implementing the Community Schools Model in three West Side schools: Mary C. Snow
Elementary, Stonewall Jackson Middle, and Capital High; and (2) Actively engaging middle school
and high school students in career and higher educational opportunities. A growing body of
research suggests that the Community Schools Model results in compounding benefits for
students, families, and the community. Specifically, community school students show significant
gains in academic achievement and in essential areas of nonacademic development. Families of
community school students show increased family stability, communication with teachers, school
involvement, and a greater sense of responsibility for their children's learning. Community schools
enjoy stronger parent-teacher relationships, increased teacher satisfaction, a more positive school
environment, and greater community support. The Community School Model promotes more
efficient use of school buildings and, as a result, neighborhoods enjoy increased security,
heightened community pride, and better rapport among students and residents (Coalition for
Community Schools).
The Charleston Community and Family Development Corporation (CCFDC) has established a
comprehensive continuum of services that follows individuals from birth through adulthood to
systematically improve the educational, social, emotional, physical, and cultural outcomes of
youth. Using the Community Schools Model, CCFDC integrates public and private resources
designed to augment the schools' core resources by providing additional student and family
supports. These programs are all systemic, integrated, sustainable, and continue from birth
through a student's transition from K-12 schooling to college and career.
Specifically, CCFDC facilitates a continuum of services to improve educational and developmental
outcomes for children in the West Side community by:
• Establishing high quality early learning programs;
• Working within Kanawha County Schools to coordinate professional development systems
based on student outcomes at Mary C. Snow Elementary, Stonewall Jackson Middle School,
and Capital High;
• Implementing college and career readiness programs for middle and high school youth;
and
• Working with local organizations to improve family and community supports.
Current activities by the organization focus on student achievement and success at the elementary

school level. CCFDC is located in Mary C. Snow Elementary and is currently offering programs that
operate afterschool Monday through Friday. Hours of operation are 2:45 to 6:00 pm. Programs
offer a safe haven, homework assistance, tutoring, enrichment and recreational activities,
mentoring, community service, drug and character education, fine arts and culturally relevant
activities that are designed to specifically address the risk factors and needs of the community.
Through grants from The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation and Title 1, CCFDC and Mary C.
Snow Elementary were able to help students become more successful learners. Eleven (11)
additional certified teachers are now working with 22 University of Charleston student teachers
during afterschool hours. The current teachers are supervising and leading these student teachers
in helping up to 120 K-12 students with tutoring and development of academic skills. Because
approximately 92% of students in the afterschool program attend three or more days per week,
they get consistent support and reinforcement of skills used in the classroom.
Enrichment activities currently offered through this program include First Tee Golf; Archery in
Schools Program, SCI-TALKS Program (hands-on STEM program), Good News Club, and Boys
Scouts. CCFDC is also extended programming to include more involvement with community
gardens on the West Side of Charleston. Youth will be involved with the planting, weeding, and
harvesting of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Specific outcomes and activities of this dropout prevention project include:
Outcome 1: Increase community partnerships and engagement to fully integrate the
Community Schools Model.
This outcome will be achieved through the Leadership Team/Advisory Council and
Workgroups In order to fully integrate the Community School Model into the schools, each of the
community partners commits to participating on the Leadership Team/Advisory Council and one
Workgroup relevant to the services they provide. The Workgroups will meet monthly and submit
reports to the full Advisory Council. Membership on Workgroups will include partner agencies,
parents, and community residents. Workgroups include Academic (Professional Development,
Afterschool, and College-to-Career), Family and Community Support (Early Learning, Health,
Family Support and Engagement, and Safety), and Quality Assurance (Data Management and
Evaluation).
The following tasks will guide the planning process for each of the Workgroups that will report to
the Leadership Team/Advisory Council:
• Collection and disaggregation of data related to program and project indicators
• Review of data to determine baseline on program and project indicators
• Review of research and best practices on potential services and interventions on the
continuum of solutions

Outcome 2: Actively engaging middle school and high school students in careers and higher
educational opportunities.
This outcome will be achieved through the Pre-College Program. Each year, 100 middle school
and high school students will participate in the Pre-College Program (25 students in the 8th, 9th,
10th, and 11th grades). This is a multi-pronged intervention that helps student explore, first-hand,
college and career options. Students will benefit by getting coaching and mentoring; career
exploration/exposure and development activities including in and out-of-state college visits,
corporate visits, and career shadowing experiences; Summer Institutes focused on development
activities and workshops at local universities; networking skill development by interacting with
professionals committed to supporting their development.; financial aid literacy and college
savings education; bi-monthly development workshops; college entrance and retention support;
and access to scholarship and internship opportunities.
Students from Stonewall Jackson Middle and Capital High School will be eligible to apply for
participation in the Pre-College Program. Students must have a 2.0 GPA or "C" average minimum
and a desire to attend a college, university, or trade school. Students will be expected to
participate in both summer programming and school-year developmental sessions focused on
career exploration, planning, and academic enrichment. Students must commit to being present
during these activities as well as monthly coaching sessions with staff. Students will also be
mentored by business and community partners throughout the year.
Parents will also be targeted in the program and receive tangible benefits for their children.
Parents and students will research and discuss scholarship opportunities and review the college
application process using materials found on the Internet. Parents will receive updated
information as well as participate in round-table conversation on the process of preparing for
sending their children to college and supporting their success. They will participate in college and
vocational education seminars conducted by college admissions staff and participate as chaperons
during college and industry tours.
Developmental Sessions
All students will participate in Development Sessions {averaging four hours per session two
Saturdays per month) throughout the school year. In the gth and gth grades, sessions will expose
students to the college and vocational experiences, but also heavily focus on academic skill
building with tutoring in math and English. In the 10th and 11th grades, sessions will focus on
PSAT/ACT test preparation, career planninq, goal setting, college planning, financial literacy,

scholarships, and financial aid opportunities.
In-State Campus Tours and Industry Tours
All students will participate in three in-state campus tours and two local industry tours annually to
get a first-hand experience on a college campus and in the work environment. While on the
campus, participants will interact with admissions office staff, talk with other students, tour the
facilities, explore admission requirements, and learn about potential majors. During the industry
tours, participants will talk with industry leaders, view various work settings, and explore the steps
needed to obtain employment in different business sectors.
Spring Break Tour
During spring break, 50 students will travel to out-of-state locations to tour college campuses in
the region. In addition to receiving information similar to the in-state tours, they will get to
experience campus life by staying in the dorms, eating in the cafeteria, and interacting with other
students.
Summer Institute
The Summer Institute is a full immersion program for 25 9th_11th graders. Using an in-state
institution of higher education, students will attend college classes, stay on a campus for four
days, experience student life, talk with staff and faculty, and get a real "feel" for what college life is
like.
Short Term Outcomes
• Students will increase their career and/or educational aspirations
• Students will increase their knowledge of career and educational planning
• Students will take the appropriate classes to prepare for their post-secondary education
• Students will participate in out-of school enrichment activities designed to improve the
educational, social, emotional, physical, and cultural outcomes of youth.

project, including lowing student achievement, low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and

~
•
Low Student Achievement: The three schools rank among the lowest in student
achievement in the state. Mary C. Snow Elementary ranks 42"d out of 43 elementary schools
in the county, Stonewall Jackson Middle ranks 10th out of 12, and Capital High ranks 6th out
of 8.
•
Low Westest-2 Scores: A recent report revealed that Mary C. Snow's Westest-2 scores are
at the bottom of list for both Kanawha County and the State of West Virginia. Mary C. Snow
ranked 42nd out of the 43 elementary schools in Kanawha County with a Westest-2
combined score of 49 (the range was 46.5-167.8). That resulted in a school ranking of 393
out of 395 in the state. Stonewall Jackson Middle School's Westest-2 combined scores
averaged 86.3 with the range 78.6 to 150.7. This resulted in an overall ranking of 105 out of
125 middle schools in the state. Capital High averaged a score of 89.4 with a range of 69.7139. This resulted in an overall rank of 53 out of 97 high schools.
•
Graduation Rates: Capital High's graduation rate was only 56.62% (2011-12 NCLB Report
Card).
•
Poverty: Over 93% of students at Mary C. Snow are low-income; over 72% of students at
Stonewall Jackson are low-income; and over 54% of students at Capital High are lowincome (2011-12 NCLB Report Card).
•
Jobless Youth: Nearly 6.5 million U.S. teens and young adults-including 56,000 in WVare not in school and jobless, veering toward a path of chronic underemployment as adults
and failing to gain the skills employers need in the 21st century (Annie E. Casey
Foundation). The nation's youth employment rates for 16-24 year olds have dropped to
lows not seen in more than 50 years. In West Virginia, only 22% of youth 16-19 had a job in
2011 and only 55% of 20-24 year olds had a job, putting the state at one of the lowest rates
in the nation.
3.
How is the school or consortium's project connected to best practice and current
research in reference to raising student achievement and/or dropout prevention?
The efficacy of the Community Schools Model is well-documented in the literature. The
Community Schools Model engages all community stakeholders to maximize existing resources;
identifies needed new services using data and assessment to guide decision-making; and
proactively reaches out to residents to encourage participation in the continuum of services.
In "Making the Difference: Research and Practice in Community Schools," evaluations of 20
initiatives nationwide confirm that community schools have a positive impact on what matters
West Virginia Department of Education
School Innovation Zone and Dropout Prevention Innovation Zone
2013-14 GRANT APPLICATION
most to students, parents, communities and schools. The report concludes that:
• Student learning improves.
• Parent and family participation-in their children's education and in the school-increases.
• Principals and teachers have more time for quality instruction because the school's
community partners help address nonDacademic barriers to learning.
• Families have more opportunities and support in caring for and helping to educate their
children, and in contributing to their community.
The study further outlined that community schools generate other positive outcomes as well.
Improved safety and security, increased community pride, stronger relationships between school
and community, and greater utilization of schools and other public services and facilities all reflect
the broader "community building" role of community schools. Community schools and their
students are seen as valued resources, and communities own accountability for student success.
The Pre-College Program has also been demonstrated to increase student success. The CCFDC
CEO has 12 years of experience recruiting and developing high school, college intern, and co-op
students for Fortune 500 companies in West Virginia and Kentucky for employment opportunities
after graduation. He also assisted in the design of the internship and co-op program for Toyota
Motor Manufacturing Kentucky, Inc. This evidence-based Pre-College Program's success is high
with an average of 95% of its graduates going on to a post-secondary education and 92%
acceptinq job offers with their host internship companies.
4.
What will other schools in WV learn from your project and how will other schools in
WV benefit from your project?
CCFDC is committed to documenting the process of developing and implementing the
Community Schools Model for replication across the state. A document will be created that
includes methods used to collect data and identify community needs; program design; successes
and barriers to implementation; and evaluation tools. The Advisory Council and Workgroups will
record their progress through meeting minutes and work plan documents.
To collect student outcome data, CCFDC currently utilizes Efforts-to-Outcomes software. This is an
easy-to-use web-based tool that allows all collaborative partners to input data and offers CCFDC a
one-stop all purpose tool to compile data for more efficient, realistic, and complete reporting. This
software will be beneficial for reporting information required for this grant and documenting
youth outcomes for future funding.

2. How will this innovation project be sustained beyond the initial funding period?
The community assets that will be identified and created as a result of community partnerships will
help the organization identify resources that can be used to sustain the project into the future. For
example, combining the strengths of two organizations to offer a new service could likely not cost
any additional funds, but use existing resources in a new combination to create something new. For
costs that will need financial sustainability (ie, professional staff), the data and documentation from
this project will help CCFDC demonstrate that the Community Schools Model is successful and
positively impacts student achievement and success. Having this information with help the
organization obtain fundinq from other sources.
