Congratulations California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP) planning and implementation grantees!

For those who are planning to attend the upcoming Coalition for Community Schools And Family Engagement Conference (CSxFE) in LA (June 1-4), we’d like to highlight a few FREE offerings that will be useful to you, particularly as you get started on your planning work. https://lnkd.in/gGjRjgFc

On May 31st, from 1:30-4:30pm PST, we and our partners at Children's Aid's National Center for CS will host a workshop that covers the implementation nuts and bolts of a community school strategy. This workshop will be great for those just beginning their learning journey around community schools, but it is of course open to all. Registration is required and space is limited.

On June 1st, from 9am-12pm PST, we’ll unpack some of California’s new and existing initiatives that support inclusive and equity-centered school transformation strategies. Join us, the CA Collaborative for Educational Excellence, the CA Afterschool Network, and Californians Together as we discuss how some of these significant new funding opportunities can serve to ground and strengthen your community school strategy. Registration is required and space is limited.

Lastly, make sure you attend the California State Breakout on June 2nd, from 3:30-5pm PST – open to all California attendees – NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED. With SO MUCH extraordinary community schools work happening across the state, this will be a time to connect, share, learn, and identify shared priorities for CA's community schools agenda.

Not attending the conference? Not to worry! Our team will continue to build, design and facilitate virtual and regional opportunities for learning and connection. Just sign up for our email list so you’re the first to know. And contact us if you have a specific question, idea, or gaggle of folx you'd like us to plan with.

The good news is that there is extraordinary and innovative systems transformation work in rural schools and communities. The bad news... the overarching system is not yet structured to incentivize and double down on that work.

Innovative program that allowed rural districts to collaborate to create and expand community school programs runs into a surprising roadblock.
