It’s heartbreaking because it reveals the depth of the struggles that students and their families experience in the face of a lack of affordable housing and jobs the pay a living wage; in one of nation’s wealthiest communities. And its dazzling because it demonstrates what schools can do when they work in close partnerships with their communities– with families, non profit partners, local government and others. This is what community schools can do and are doing across the country. Marty Blank Former Director, Coalition for Community Schools at the Institute for Educational Leadership
