Building a Community School, Third Edition (Revised)

The Children's Aid Society

This manual provides a detailed outline of the development of New York City's community schools. The resource describes the steps taken to meet project goals, some of the obstacles that were encountered and the ways they were overcome, and the overall philosophy behind the community school. The publication is designed to serve as an illustration of what is possible, not a rigid plan, as each community is different and each collaboration involves a community's own unique set of partners. The manual includes the medical, dental, mental health, recreation, supplemental education, youth, parent education, family life education, and summer programs that are all a part of the community school. This new edition also presents the community schools' approaches in the context of 21st century realities, outlines the latest research, and provides updated information on available funding resources. A 12-page Parent's Guide is also available. (118 pages)
