In Arkansas
Community Schools are here and thriving in the Natural State. Learn more about Community Schools in Arkansas.
Federal legislation can help expand the full-service public community school model, which transforms traditional public schools into hubs that mobilize students, staff, families, and community members to create and enact a plan to strengthen their school and community. They include high-quality teaching and learning; family and community partnerships; community school coordinators; and a full suite of support offerings, including health and nutrition services and mentoring programs.
From offering food pantries to providing access to mental health services, community schools offer educational opportunities and meet challenges identified by educators, students, families, local organizations, and social service agencies.
