Join us for an engaging, high-level introduction to California’s vision for education through the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP). This session will explore the community school strategy, a model that reimagines schools as hubs of opportunity, wellness, and shared leadership.

Community schools are more than just another initiative. They are places of belonging and partnership where students, families, educators, and community organizations come together to create the conditions every child needs to thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally.

Whether you are new to the concept or looking to align your current efforts, this session will provide helpful tools, inspiration, and pathways to support and sustain community schools in your local context.
