GROWING COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
The Coalition for Community Schools is pleased to announce the release of its new paper, Growing Community Schools: the Role of Cross-Boundary Leadership. This paper highlights 11 communities around the country whose community school initiatives are moving toward the “tipping point”. Chicago now has 102 community schools; Multnomah County 56 (of 150) and in Tukwila, Washington all five schools are community schools. The report focuses on how innovative cross-boundary leaders from education, local government, public, private and community-based agencies, business and other sectors are organizing themselves and their communities to create and sustain community schools. Leaders in these communities recognize that helping all young people succeed means providing them with as much support and as many pathways to success as possible.
