Outreach workers get kudos for work with homeless
Outreach workers Carl Green, Ilka Rosado, and Lisa Jackson
This week’s Shout Out goes to outreach workers Carl Green, Lisa Jackson, and Ilka Rosado, from Senior Special Populations Program Specialist Bernadette Cardenas, who praised them for the work they do with students experiencing homelessness.
“These three workers give entirely of themselves to support our students,” said Cardenas. “They will work evenings, Saturdays, and whenever they are needed in order to assist students and families. Carl, Lisa, and Ilka can always be counted on. They ensure that these children have uniforms, school supplies, shoes, undergarments and personal hygiene items in order to attend school. They also assist with enrollment, obtaining school and medical records and immunizations, and serve as leadership for school-based personnel in identifying students and increasing community awareness. As a team, they also collaborate with other district personnel to provide transportation, free breakfast/lunch, tutorial programs, and referrals to social service agencies and resources.”
