Meet Shataura Dudley, Community School Coordinator...
Last school-year in the transition to virtual learning in light of COVID-19 safety precautions, you may have noticed a new set of eyes on community calls and behind the monthly Community Engagement Market food-box pickups at Issac Dickson Elementary School. Shataura Dudley joined our team as well as the Cougar family at Asheville Middle School as the Community School Coordinator, transitioning from her former role as a Family Self Sufficiency Coordinator at Asheville Housing Authority. I sat down with Shataura to discuss where she's been lending her support in community these past few months and where she's feeling most strongly connected to students, families, and community this school year.
She shares that she's been focused in relationship-building, getting to know her colleagues and Cougar students, and meet community partners in weekly Resource Team meetings to ensure she and nonprofit partners are informed and in regular communication in how they're working to meet students and families.
