How district leaders start and sustain community schools 

Across the country, superintendents are transforming into community school leaders. Responsible for overseeing the learning and development of our country’s children-including functions such as school nutrition, bussing, safety, finances, community engagement, and so much more-superintendents are recognizing that they need a different strategy to effectively meet the needs of the whole child. Only with a collective approach-one where nonprofit organizations, community members, families, government agencies, higher education institutions, afterschool programs, museums, faith-based groups, and others can rally around the school and its children-will they successfully create the conditions where children can learn and thrive. That approach? Community schools.
