WHAT IS A COMMUNITY SCHOOL?
Using schools as hubs, community schools bring educators, families, and community partners together to offer a wide range of opportunities, supports, and services to students, as well as their families and communities.
Community schools:
- Provide expanded learning opportunities that are motivating and engaging during the school day, after school, and in the summer
- Offer integrated health and social supports and services
- Engage families and communities as assets in the lives of their children
