This is an image about community schools showing how the school is at the center of the community

The Community Schools Initiative

A Community School is any school serving 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.  — California Community Schools Partnership Program Framework​​
