Established in January of <strong>2019</strong>, the Satellite Office @ Shawnee is open Monday through<br />
Friday from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The Satellite Office @ Shawnee is home to Student Equity &<br />
Community Engagement, a division of the Diversity, Equity, and Poverty Department. Under<br />
Giselle Danger-Mercaderes’ leadership, the Student Equity and Community Engagement<br />
division assists families with securing clothing, food, transportation, and housing. The<br />
Student Equity and Community Engagement division is also the district’s focal point for<br />
coordinating foster care services for JCPS.<br />
In February, the Satellite Offices hosted parentteacher<br />
conferences for Crosby Middle School,<br />
Kammerer Middle School, Waggener High School,<br />

Jessica Rosenthal to discuss educational issues in the district.<br />
