     (c) The integrated student supports shall supplement rather

 

than duplicate the supports already provided by the school

     (i) An assessment of pupil and family needs in schools.

     (a) "Community school strategies" means tactics that include

 

developing a set of partnerships between a school and other

 

community resources, with an integrated focus on academics, health

engagement with the goals of improving student learning, and

 

developing stronger communities and a positive school climate.

     (c) "Integrated student supports" means a system of wraparound
