Community Schools Model Proposal February 24, 2016 Dr. Kriner Cash, Superintendent of Schools Dr. David Mauricio, Chief of Strategic Alignment & Innovation
Community Schools Model Proposal
The Vision As part of a strategy for school improvement, the community schools will attract families using a “full service� model to increase student outcomes and improve the surrounding community.
Definition: A community school builds bridges between families and communities leading to improved student learning, increased parent engagement and healthier students by connecting community-based and faith-based organizations, colleges, city and county services and businesses with the school. Choice Enrollment: Parents & guardians will be encouraged to choose their community schools via the District’s choice process. A percentage of seats will be dedicated for students who reside outside the community zone.
Community Schools Model Proposal
Goals 1. Implement strong educational programs which reduce learning gaps, enrich and expand the curriculum, and strengthen parent and community engagement in the school. 2. Coordinate with Say Yes and other local resources to offer medical, dental, health and wellness services at the school. 3. Implement high quality extended day and year programs of excellence (e.g. academic, cultural, artistic, athletic, language and needs-based).
