The Full Service Community Schools: Schools and Community Sharing Responsibility for Student Success

If the phrase ‘schools can’t do it alone’ is to have real meaning, then schools and their communities must be long-term partners. Public agencies, community-based organizations, neighborhood groups, and faith-based institutions must all work together to help young people succeed. The Full Service Community School represents this vision of shared responsibility for our young people. Presenters discuss how local school districts and their communities are bringing this vision to life by weaving together resources from multiple federal grants including SS/HS, 21st Century Community Learning Centers and others, and integrating those programs with local assets in a sustainable, results-focused way.
