Lynwood Unified School District hosted the League of Innovative Schools during a health collaborative workshop at the City Council Chamber on Oct. 17 to discuss health service tactics with school districts across the country.
Lynwood Unified Board members, Superintendent Dr. Gudiel Crosthwaite and Deputy Superintendent Dr. Shawna Dinkins spoke on the District’s Health Collaborative, which provides a wide variety of health services to students, staff and teachers in the form of resources, workshops and counseling.
The District team then made its way to the Inclusive Innovation Convening in Downtown Los Angeles, hosted by Digital Promise, to present alongside other school districts and organizations. Lynwood Unified students also had the opportunity to join the conversation and share how Lynwood’s Health Collaborative helped them succeed.
