New Handbook: Community Schools

COMMUNITY SCHOOLS: A HANDBOOK FOR STATE POLICY LEADERS
At a time when choice and testing dominate the education agenda, there is an increased need to apply some common sense and consider the critical role that community and family play in educating our children. In response to this need, The Coalition for Community Schools has released a primer to help guide state policymakers — governors, state legislators, chief state school officers, and leaders of other state agencies– through the vision of community schools. It describes specific actions that leaders can take to “grow” community schools in their states. The handbook also is useful to local elected officials and local decision makers as well.
