Community Schools Leadership

AASA is a coordinating partner of the Engage Every Student initiative, aiding in the effort to provide high-quality out-of-school time learning opportunities for every child.

As superintendents grapple with multiple challenges heading into the new school year, many are turning to the Community School vision and strategy as a vehicle for addressing student needs, creating the opportunities they deserve and strengthening relationships with their community. Community Schools continue to provide a return on investment by closing opportunity gaps, fostering positive school culture and improving student performance.

Hear pioneers of today’s community schools movement provide compelling arguments for why a partnership-driven community school approach is best for every school. Join them, and a local superintendent implementing the vision, to learn key lessons for establishing new community schools and strengthening existing ones.
