“I have been crisscrossing the country on a tour of community schools—public schools that are both a place and a partnership between educators, students, families, community members and service providers. They’re all different, because they start with the premise of providing their particular school community what it wants and needs to thrive. From services for immigrant and refugee families in Kansas City, Mo., to financial literacy classes and adult education in Cincinnati, to clothes closets with everything from winter coats to prom dresses in Boston, community schools are one of the most effective strategies we have to help students and their families thrive.”
