The Community School Initiative is a response to the growing need across our state to address non-academic barriers to student learning, and to a body of research that shows students are better able to learn and achieve when those barriers are removed. A community school is a school that offers comprehensive educational opportunities through both academic and nonacademic services while partnering with families, students and the community to increase student access and success. FCS is partnering with Metro RESA to bring this vision to life.
