A Community
School takes one of the largest and most under-utilized
public facilties, the public school, and increases the investment
by keeping it open evenings, weekends and during the summer
for community activities.
The
Community School provides a vehicle for the participation
of community residents, with or without children in the
school system, in the activities and efforts of their neighbourhood
school.
The
Community School encourages school staff to present the
elementary and secondary school curriculum using real-life
resources and issues from the community.
