California Community Schools [View all]

California is Transforming Education Through Community Schools

* California is investing $4.1 billion to make one out of every three schools a community school

* Community schools get families the resources and support they need to thrive, like health care and mental health and social services – everything from counseling to nutrition programs to tutoring

* Supporting students outside of the classroom helps them succeed inside the classroom

There's more at the link. I've seen a fair amount of advertising for Community Schools on MSNBC. I was fearful it was part of a voucher program or private school. But it comes from the government. Most relieved as it sounds like a step in the right direction. Ages ago prop 13 practically destroyed our public schools. And nobody seemed to care. They more than care. They're taking action.
