WE LEVERAGE BEST PRACTICES IN COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION, CENTERED AROUND RELOCATION, REDISTRIBUTION, AND RECONCILIATION BY EMBEDDING A SCHOOL-CONNECTED WORKER IN OUR POOREST NEIGHBORHOODS, LIVING 7X24 IN RESIDENCE, WORKING IN CHILD AND COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIP, AND BUILDING BRIDGES WITH KEY COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND RESOURCES.
