Our Why

The students are at the core of everything we do.

We exist to support the development of culturally-responsive, trauma-informed community schools that have the capacity to deliver a continuum of evidence-based and restorative practices organized using multi-tiered systems of supports.

FLX Community Schools exists to support the development of culturally responsive, trauma-informed Community Schools.  Supported schools will have the capacity to deliver a continuum of evidence-based and restorative practices organized to meet the needs of all students.  Resources are organized with a Multi-Tiered Systems of Supports which is public health model adapted for educational settings.  This model encourages promotion of health, prevention of harm and early intervention to prevent crisis.  FLX Community Schools will provide technical assistance and training to schools by creating clarity through on the spot support, accessible toolkits and shared communities of practice.  In order to provide initial energy for a project or to support strained systems, we can intercede and organize direct service.  We intend to develop a county by county approach to focus national, state, regional and local resources into place-based and person-centered programs and supports.  FLX Community Schools encourages the careful use of qualitative and quantitative data, systematic teaming and consistent practices that fit each place while maintaining a flexible framework of tools that typically work and allow for variations to meet what young people and families need in each setting.
