What are community schools?

The community schools strategy transforms a school into a place where educators, local community members, families, and students work together to strengthen conditions for student learning and healthy development. As partners, they organize in- and out-of-school resources, supports, and opportunities so that young people thrive. - Community Schools Forward​

Vision Statement: Every Orange County student thrives in collaborative community schools.

Mission Statement: Our mission is to support and build the capacity of districts, schools, OCDE, and community partners to implement high-quality community schools with fidelity, so that all students, families, staff, and local partners will flourish in healthy schools and communities.​​
