MILTON-FREEWATER — The Milton-Freewater School District has announced it is the first Oregon school district to enter into a partnership with Communities In Schools, a national organization that embeds trained community service specialists in school districts to facilitate support programs.
“After the coronavirus pandemic, we became concerned about self-sufficiency when a care coordinator position hadn’t been filled for 15 months,” Milton-Freewater School District Superintendent Aaron Duff said. “We needed that resource for families to connect them to community resources, help support attendance and make connections.”
