A Handbook for State Policy Leaders

Sep 18, 2002

The Coalition for Community Schools reminds policymakers not to forget the vital role that families and communities play in ensuring quality education and strong learning opportunities for students throughout the day. The Handbook's specific recommendations include creating community coordinator positions in the schools, assisting schools in engaging families in children?’s education, and providing flexible funding that leaves room for communities to determine their own educational priorities.
