The community-schools strategy is being used by communities across the state to address student needs in a student-centered, holistic and collaborative way. A Wisconsin community school provides students, families and community members with the quality academic, enrichment, health and social resources to succeed in school and in life with equity and social justice at the core. This session will cover the elements of community schools and how they can be supported through partnerships and financial resources.
