California Community Schools Partnership Program
A community school strategy transforms a school into a place where educators, local community members, families, and students work together to strengthen conditions for student learning and healthy development.
Four Pillars of Community Schools
The CCSPP Framework leans heavily on the four established pillars of the community schools movement. Current statute regarding the CCSPP aligns well with the research. Specifically, community schools are defined in statute as public schools with “strong and intentional community partnerships ensuring pupil learning and whole child and family development,” including the following features.
Pillar 1:
Integrated Student Supports
Pillar 2:
Expanded Learning Time & Opportunities
PIllar 3:
Active Family & Community Engagement
Pillar 4:
Collaborative Leadership and Practices
