School Responder announces strategic partnership with C. J. Huff


Former Joplin R-8 Superintendent C. J. Huff and Bright Futures USA will be partnered with School Responder, a company that provides mobile apps designed to improve "the health, wellness and safety of children and youth across the nation."

The press release from School Responder is printed below:

Barbara A. Grimm, President and Founder of School Responder (www.schoolresponder.com) announces a strategic partnership with BrightFuturesUSA.org, a national not-for-profit organization founded in Joplin, Missouri by Dr. C.J. Huff. 

"We at School Responder (SR) are so fortunate to have someone on board with CJ's leadership, talent, and unique experiences. Well-known in the educational field as a champion for all children, CJ has built an extensive network of relationships, nationally and internationally, with like-minded professionals and organizations," said Grimm.








David B. Cooper, Founder, CFO/CTO, SR concurs, "CJ's vision expands communication beyond a school's mental wellness and into the community. Bright Futures' focus on food, shelter and clothing needs, matches Time, Treasure and Talent pledges by champions in the community. These efforts then come together to provide support for the whole child, via our SR app."

"I am incredibly honored to be a part of this project with SR," said C.J. Huff. "I talk to school leaders every day struggling with how to best meet the needs of students. Building and deploying a powerful- communications tool that gets students the support they need, when they need it, is really a dream come true. 

"This app is going to bring a fundamental change for school systems across the country as it meets the diverse and ever-growing needs of our kids. I'm just proud to be a part of such a forward-thinking team."

As a part of this strategic partnership, C.J. will serve in a leadership role on the Board of SR as a special advisor, providing leadership and subject matter expertise to support SR's efforts to improve the health, wellness and safety of children and youth across the nation.

I hope that Joplin Schools is not going to implement this app. The app itself sounds OK, but just not with CJ having anything to do with it. Joplin Schools, steer clear of this app and of CJ. I was hoping we were through with reading his name or seeing his picture, ever again.
