What is a Community School?

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 eleven campuses.

Defining a Community School

A Community School is any school serving pre-Kindergarten through high school students using a “whole-child” approach, with “an integrated focus on academics, health and social services, youth and community development, and community engagement.” As a school improvement strategy, community school initiatives enable the local educational agency (LEA) and school to work closely with educators, students, and families to understand and address the unique needs, assets, and aspirations of the school community.
