Boise School District Social Worker

Scott Crandell, LSW

It is my privilege and passion to provide social work services and support, as a Community Resource Worker, to families in the Boise School District.  I firmly believe that all children have the ability to be successful in school with adequate support and resources.  When requested, I have the ability to provide support to families who are experiencing some sort of trauma, crisis or instability that impacts their childrens' ability to learn. 

Schools:

  • Horizon Elementary - (208) 854-5170
  • Madison Pre-School - (208) 854-5520
  • Pierce Park Elementary - (208) 854-5880
  • Shadow Hills Elementary - (208) 854-6060
  • William Howard Taft Elementary - (208) 854-6216

Practice areas:  The Community Resources for Families program is voluntary and designed to assist elementary school children and their families with emergency needs.  As a Community Resource Worker, I join with families to develop a family-centered plan for stability.  This plan can benefit the whole family and focuses on family strengths that are utilized to support identified goals.  My social work services are responsive, respectful, culturally sensitive and appropriate.  Referrals to my program can be made by teachers, nurses, school psychologists, counselors, principals, community partners and family members. 

Educational background and experience: I earned my bachelor's degree in social work from Boise State University in 1995.  In November of 1996, I was hired as Community Resource Worker with the Boise Independent School District.  Over the past 12 years, I've provided social work services to approximately 400 families in nine elementary schools.  I'm currently enrolled in Boise State University's graduate social work program and will complete my master's degree in May of 2009.
