Communities In Schools Level 2 Case Management

Communities In Schools Level 2 case management is a targeted intervention for at-risk secondary school students (middle and high school) who display significant risk factors such as poor academic performance, high absentee rates, or behavioral problems. School-based site coordinators identify eligible students through data review and referrals from school staff, then work individually with each case-managed student to assess their needs, develop individualized case plans with goals, and connect them to appropriate services within the school and community. Services focus primarily on academic assistance, behavior support, and social/life skills development. Throughout the school year, site coordinators monitor student progress through regular check-ins and review of school records, adjusting services as needed. Students receive an average of 19 service contacts totaling 16 hours over approximately 30 weeks. Site coordinators have an average caseload of 84 students and spend about 44% of their time on Level 2 services. The intervention requires parental consent and aims to provide sustained, personalized support to help at-risk students stay on track toward graduation.
