Aubree is supporting Communities in Schools of PA

The mission of Communities in Schools of Pennsylvania is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. We believe that every child, regardless of their circumstances, deserves the resources and opportunities needed to thrive. 

CISPA serves 30 individual schools in 12 school districts, including 8 schools in York County. CISPA currently provides programming in the School District of the City of York at Davis Pre K-8, Goode Pre K-8, Hannah Penn Pre K-8, Devers Pre K-8, Ferguson Pre K-8, McKinley Pre K-8, and William Penn Senior High School and Spring Grove Area School District at Paradise Elementary. 

In these schools, supports include 3 tiers of services to students: Tier 1 (whole-school), Tier 2 (small group), and Tier 3 (intensive casemanagement). Our talented school based team members find partnerships and resources in the community and brings them to students and families, work to support and empower students to remove non-academic barriers to their success, and bring programs and resources to the whole school and work 1:1 with small groups.

I am located at William Penn Senior High School in the York City School District.  I started with CISPA in November of 2025, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time with this organization!  At my site, my goals are to improve average daily attendance, and improve the school's climate and culture.  Thus far, I have conducted a "March Madness" style competition for attendance, and participated in several school wide events such as resource and career fairs.  I also run the school's closet, providing clothes to students in need.

In York County during the 2024-2025 school year:

• 70,502 (duplicated) students participated in Tier 1 (whole-school) programs

• 316 students were served through intensive, one-on-one case management

• 20,099 (duplicated) parents were served through Tier 1 (whole-school) supports

• 566 basic needs items were distributed, including clothing, food, hygiene, and school supplies
