Community Schools

The California Community Schools Partnership Program is a $4B initiative to ensure that every student and family in our school communities is fully supported to take advantage of the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Five school districts in Marin County have won grants to support planning and implementation of the California Community Schools Framework on twelve campuses.
